Today I'm so excited to be interviewing Helena Norberg-Hodge. Helena is an author, a filmmaker and founding director of Local Futures. Local Futures is committed to the revitalisation of cultural and biological diversity and the strengthening of local communities and economics worldwide.  Helena has published several books including international bestseller 'Ancient Futures' which is a look into tradition and change in Ladakh.  She is also the producer of the film 'Economics of Happiness'.  On Helena's website she has this beautiful saying: "Localization is the way to repair our fractured world, our ecosystems and ourselves."  I first met Helena when Mak and I were planning our motorbike trip in the Himalayas in 2011. A client of mine introduced me to Helena and I bought Helena's book 'Ancient Futures'. We didn't actually make it into Ladakh because going on the Spiti circuit took a lot longer than we thought. We do take our time when we're travelling.  I read 'Ancient Futures' and it changed my life. It had a huge, lasting impact on my life. I have also had the good fortune to listen to Helena speak on several occasions and I have taken a lot of what Helena has said into my life and into my business.  Before meeting Helena I'd already been buying local produce from the farmer’s market but after reading the book and watching Economics of Happiness, my spending locally really went up to the next level. It's my honour to welcome Helena Norberg-Hodge In this interview we talk about; why it is important to shop locally,what impact it has on communities worldwide,  and what you can do to buy more locally. Welcome, welcome, Helena. I'm so excited to have you here.  Relevant links For more information on Helena and where to buy her books https://www.helenanorberghodge.com/ For information on the feminine futures event https://www.localfutures.org/events/feminine-futures-webinar-series-2025/Movie on buying local produce https://www.localfutures.org/films/local-food-can-save-the-world/ https://www.veets.com.au/vegan-foundation-cooking-course  Come join the online group program of the vegan foundation cooking course where we not only ensure the meals, snacks and treats contain iron but also are fully nutritious and taste sensationally delicious. For the full show notes go to www.veets.com.au/16 Hope you enjoy this episode  Let me know your thoughts in the comments.  Follow Veet on https://www.facebook.com/VeetKarenVegancookingandnutrition/ Have a sensationally delicious day.Love Veet Sign up herehttps://mailchi.mp/veets.com.au/cooking-class-oh-my-goodness-bowl-signup
