We have long seen Devon and the English South-West as a social, economic and cultural laboratory for what might look like an “ecological civilisation”.

The video about gives an account of the Devon Doughnut, tied to their success as winners of the economic development category in the Place Marketing Forum in France, this September.

Their stated challenges are: “Could a dashboard of some kind help to provide a picture of how Devon is faring ecologically and economically? Would this be useful to people living and working here? If so, how, and to do what?”
