Sustainable Community Movement Organizations

Sustainable Community Movement Organizations (SCMOs) are grassroots collective efforts to build alternative, productive, and sustainable networks of production and exchange by mobilizing citizens primarily (though not exclusively) via their purchasing power. By acting on the market, such grassroots initiatives attempt to create new economic and cultural spaces for civic learning as well as consumer activism with the aim of building and developing alternative markets based on knowledge exchange, solidarity, and mutual trust.More info: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/9780470674871.wbespm641
