Dr. Gabor Maté is a truly holistic expert on addiction, stress, and childhood development. In this conversation with Helena Norberg-Hodge, he fathoms the profound impacts of social and economic structures on our most intimate experiences of what it means to be human. Together, Helena and Gabor dispel false ideas about human nature, and point to reconnection and localization as remedies to the most crippling and dehumanizing effects of living in today’s global consumer culture.

Part of the process of re-imaging Christchurch is taking a look at our place in the world, and in particular the rapid cultural shifts we've seen in the short existence of the city that urbanisation and the shift in economics have driven. One presenter who can help inform us about these issues is Helena Norberg-Hodge. Helena Norberg-Hodge is the founder and director of the International Society for Ecology and Culture (ISEC) and its predecessor, the Ladakh Project. She is the author of Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh and co-author of Bringing the Food Economy Home. Her articles have appeared in numerous journals such as The Ecologist, Resurgence, and YES! magazine. Norberg- Hodge's ground-breaking work in the Himalayan region of Ladakh is internationally recognized, and earned her the Right Livelihood Award. A particular focus of Norberg-Hodge's is the impact of the global economy on culture and agriculture and in particular the root causes of our social and environmental crises. She is on the International Commission on the Future of Food and Agriculture, launched with the support of the government of Tuscany. She is also a member of the editorial board of The Ecologist magazine and a co-founder of the International Forum on Globalisation and the Global Eco-village Network. TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

Environmental activist and author Vandana Shiva (Founder, Navdanya) and Helena Norberg-Hodge (Director of Local Futures), discuss how the globalized world will move forward after the Covid-19 pandemic. Vandana explains that the current pandemic is a direct result of economic globalization, and that small-scale, diversified farming is hugely important if we are to heal the broken climate and travel a path towards localization.
