Ravi Logan and Jason Schreiner, of the Prout Institute, explain, to Peak Moment TV, an integrated vision for economic and social development, that is distinguished from a pure localist approach, by stressing ‘balance’ between the global and the local:

“Ravi Logan and Jason Schreiner’s model is based on valuing our interrelatedness and interdependency within the natural world. It replaces profit-driven with cooperative enterprises, and emphasizes a balance between local self-reliance and bioregional networks, with some global structures to meet global needs like telecommunications. They describe applying permaculture principles like the zone approach in on-the-ground projects in Eugene, Oregon.”
