Executive Summary

Previous issues of Reality Check have focused on single components of proposed new measures of wellbeing - such as population health, volunteer work, or valuing our forests - that are not captured in our conventional measures of progress. This issue, for the first time, focuses on one of the major values and benefits of more comprehensive measures of progress: Their capacity to demonstrate connections among a wide range of economic, social and environmental variables. In this issue, Reality Check steps back to look at the fishery, and at our industrial food and transportation systems.

SPOTLIGHT

Atkinson Foundation appoints Christine Avery Nunez as Acting Executive Director.
