The principles and values of the Social and Solidarity Economy are most often studied at the macro-economic level. Yet, in a context of globalization of trade, their development or simply their survival is a concern for many territories. Putting this approach into practice with the “Made In Local” project provides interesting leads, applicable to other geographical areas and adaptable to structures beyond the SSE. It is therefore necessary to propose an analysis grid and tools for understanding local exchanges, in order to help economic actors and decision-makers strengthen their links within a given territory. The “Made In Local” project’s practical application of an approach based on the notions of economic multiplier and territorial resource provides possible avenues for progress, adaptable to other geographical areas and to structures of all economic and social types.
