Developing countries need to design projects to increase the growth
and wellness of its human population, which involves the inclusion
of topics associated directly with the sustainable development of
these countries and their particular social problems. This book
examines the interrelations between development, growth, the
environment and inequality, especially in developing countries and
taking into account qualitative and quantitative approaches.
Increasing welfare of the population is important to the increase
of human development through the improvement of developmental and
environmental conditions, generating sustainable development where
it is key to seek changes in public policies, economic,
technological and social factors. This book aims to analyse
different contexts from micro to macro level relationships between
development, growth, inequality, environment and human development,
and evaluate what the actual conditions in emerging economies are
and how developing new strategies could improve the well-being of
developing countries. The book is organised as follows:
Saiz-Alvarez and Gamez identify the main components to propose an
entrepreneurship model that includes distance, education, and
information and communication technologies (ICTs) as alternatives
to generate wealth and development in developing countries. In
Chapter Two, Cutolo etal. describes an approach to current
situations of water vulnerability in watersheds of metropolitan
regions in tropical countries of South America, and the importance
to improve the strategies to promote environmental health in these
regions. In Chapter Three, Hashim shows a comparison from a
historical point of view between two crops, one of them native to
South America (quinoa) and the other from Africa (pearl millet).
The comparison leads to the questions of whether or not reflexions
consider pearl millet as an alternative to food security in African
countries and as an incentive for women farmers. In Chapter Four,
Palmer and Correa applied three groundwater indicators: a
groundwater extraction indicator, a groundwater extraction for
public supply per capita indicator and a groundwater vulnerability
indicator to describe the different characteristics of the
environment and propose this analysis as a tool to make decisions
in environmental management within the Cove Basin at the Island of
San Andres (Colombia). Correa in Chapter Five analyses and assesses
the impact that poverty and access to water have on labor
productivity of the economically active population in Colombia. In
Chapter Six, Daronco and Wartchow clarify how the Brazilian
policies about water resources have been based on the laws
developed at the time of discovery in 1500. Additionally, it
regards the culminating active level in the National Water
Resources System (NWRS) today. Finally, Castellanos conducts a
search and reflection of bioethical dilemmas in veterinary
medicine, identifying sources of stress and coping strategies in
Chapter Seven.
