We have developed a model based on the 16 basic needs of a resilient local community, grouping them into 3 areas:

1. Surviving – livelihoods related to basic individual survival:

• Food & Water
• Shelter
• Clothing
• Energy

2. Hiving – livelihoods related to basic local community survival:

• Transport
• Security
• Health
• Sanitation
• Maintenance
• Community

3. Thriving – livelihoods related to having a strong, enriching local community:

• Education
• Trade & Technology
• Communication
• Entertainment
• Spiritual Life

If you’d like a free consultation to see if your skillsets, interests, or passions relate to the hundreds of livelihoods we have identified, drop us an email, and we’ll set something up.

Comments on the substance of the blogs are welcome. If you have other questions, please contact me directly for a consulting appointment.
