Relocalization

= a strategy to build societies based on the local production of food, energy and goods, and the local development of currency, governance and culture. The main goals of Relocalization are to increase community energy security, to strengthen local economies, and to dramatically improve environmental conditions and social equity.

“Localization may describe production of goods nearer to end users to reduce environmental and other external costs of globalization.” (http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/steve_bosserman/2007/07/06/the_case_for_localization.htm)
