Panelists:

  • Doug Hoffer, Author of The Leaky Bucket: An Analysis of Vermont’s Dependence on Imports
  • Stacy Mitchell, Institute for Local Self Reliance

This workshop discussed the benefits of increased economic self-reliance - producing and purchasing more of a community’s goods and services locally – and presented strategies to help a community, region or state move in this direction. Special attention was given to the role of educational, health care, business and governmental institutions in this process.
