Through Local Futures, the organization she founded, she advocates for community-based economies that support both ecological sustainability and human well-being.</p> <p>Norberg-Hodge&rsquo;s seminal work &ldquo;Ancient Futures&rdquo; chronicles 16 years living in Ladakh, a traditional Himalayan society, where she witnessed the devastating impacts of Western-style development on both ecological systems and cultural traditions. This experience revealed how globalization destroys local knowledge, self-reliance, and environmental harmony that indigenous communities maintained for centuries.</p>
