So this list was compiled a while back and was not created with this exact site or function in mind. But until we can get something else up it does serve to outline a lot of issues in economics and perhaps it will help some to see the potential in trying to outline this information more effectively. And obviously we want to take a more nuanced look at 'how' this wider take at economics is discussed to much of the information in the community based sections. Two quick points for now. In terms of looking at this in terms of the localities relationship to the existing market system ,there seem to be two main considerations. One is the broad mindset question which is a kind of sum total of influences stemming some way from the macro economic system, this can include marketing and other public relations apparatus. and the second is in relation to a more direct connection to the macro market itself. Our ability to sell our locally based products is very much tied to what macro market foodstuffs compete with locally or regionally produced foods. Other more direct relationships like customer feedback systems between consumer, and perhaps localities in general, and macro producers also are an area of consideration
