The Small Planet Institute, based in Cambridge, MA, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting an empowering understanding of democracy and addressing the core assumptions that drive humanity towards unsustainable practices. Through evidence-based solutions and stories of possibility, they aim to create a living democracy that disperses power, fosters transparency, and encourages mutual accountability. Their mission extends to various areas such as electoral politics, economic life, the environment, hunger, and agriculture, with the goal of creating thriving communities that fulfill essential needs for personal power, meaning, and connection.
With Frances Moore Lapp as a prominent figure, the Small Planet Institute has gained recognition for her groundbreaking book, "Diet for a Small Planet," which revolutionized the understanding of food choices and their impact on health and the environment. Lapp's work extends beyond food to focus on improving democracy for the benefit of all. Through their publications, events, and learning tools, the Small Planet Institute aims to inspire individuals to take action and contribute to a future where living democracies thrive with dignity.
