Buying local is more than just a hippie mantra or a new fad on social media. It’s the future, and a new standard in acquiring the goods and services we use in our everyday lives.

Buying local benefits everyone in our communities, and it’s time to seize this golden opportunity to integrate the old ways of yesterday with the present, to improve our communities and the overall global society in a positive and more self-reliant way. By making conscious decisions to support local merchants, food growers and service […]

How can we increase local food production in Roatan and lessen our reliance on imported goods? Could local and national governments create incentives on taxes, import duties, and permits which would assist in making local farming more viable? Start-up businesses would require months to begin production, but existing local producers could be assisted right away, enabling them to expand production, investment, and product lines. Alternative farming methods could be explored and researched especially ones that require less water and land usage. Assistance programs could be created to assist with value-added products so an excess of seasonal crops can be grown […]
