• W1741647535 abstract "Introduction Traditional rural growth models have created serious problems of soil, air and water pollution. As a result, agriculture and agro-industry, and their accompanying human activities, are mayor contributors to the environmental health crisis we are now experiencing in Costa Rica. During the last three decades of the twentieth century, Costa Rica has adopted the economic growth paradigm commonly referred to as the Green Revolution. As such, there has been an emphasis on short-term economic results and productivity over the integrity of the ecosystem and rational, efficient resource use. The wants and needs of the market prevailed, with natural resources being considered inexhaustible, and their exploitation unrestricted. Furthermore, the distribution of the benefits generated by the use of natural resources has not always been fair, and the quality of life for some sectors of society has not been measurably improved. No provisions have been made to guarantee that future generations will continue to enjoy today’s quality of life. Because of the fragile ecosystem of the humid tropics and their rainforests, the need for change is even more critical. The deterioration of the environment in this region is brought about by poverty, accelerated population growth, limited opportunities and insufficient knowledge and means for sustainable exploitation of the humid tropical ecosystem (Lieth and Werner, 1989). Harwood et al. (1993) suggest the need to take on a new attitude towards administration and sustainable development in order to preserve our resources and maintain their productivity, and to generate positive changes in growth policies that revert current pattern of environmental deterioration. At EARTH University we espouse the philosophy of sustainability. We encourage ecoefficiency, which sees production and environmental protection as synergetic complements. We emphasize agriculture and natural resources, but recognize the intimate relationship between the community, the individual and the environment that brings them together into a single system. We feel that development requires an improvement in the quality of life for today's generations and future generations. We are dedicated to generating and extending practical knowledge applicable to the humid tropics. We endeavor to establish a bridge for the two-way flow of information. We learn from communities, then conceptualize and synthesize this knowledge into appropriate technology which we transmit through active participation of our neighbours in the University's programs. At EARTH University we believe, and share the opinion, that only through practice can appropriate technology for the sustainable development of our region be proven. Only by example do we have the moral authority to propagate our knowledge." @default.
