Along with burgeoning populations, ruthless exploitation of renewable and non renewable resources to extract as much monetary benefit as possible without caring for the ecological and social cost, have created the need for using Bioenvironmental Management Procedures on emergency basis. It is time to make vigorous efforts to correct the dangerous and life threatening problems that have arisen due to these thoughtless and shortsighted activities.
By paying attention to the planning process, the organization will ensure that its action plans address local needs and are realistic and practical. Secondly, Village Development Plans will have a formal frame of reference for formulation.
SD2 uses PageRank as a centrality algorithm to analyze votes to determine the center of TRUST and CONSENT in a human trust network. The top three or five lead such an organization with one of them as the executive. This creates a small and efficient locus of trust and accountability to lead the organization eliminating the popularity game of conventional populistic-democracy. In the field of sociology, PageRank is being used as a *centrality* algorithm - its being used to find the *center* of human networks.
The idea is to amplify the selective and de-selective evolutionary processes that lead to community strength, by finding the most accountable members so that they will choose the best community building tools available. SD2 uses a holistic mathematical process to analyze the deep-structure of votes to find the three or five group coordinators that would be most likely to represent the values of the community as a whole. Non-populistic algorithms, like PageRank, allow a group member to rise in status without having to play the popularity game and allow members to vote their conscience without wasted votes.
In an egalitarian community, those that are determined as being the best at practicing egalitarian values would be selected as the "elite". This would make the community less "elitist" in the negative sense than if the majority ruled.
Where numerous models of rural economic development are action-oriented, this particular model relies on word of mouth to advertise the availability of an entrepreneurial facilitator. Enterprise facilitators are “passive” in that they do not initiate any projects until a committed individual comes forward with the enthusiasm to move the idea for a new or expanding business forward. After this individual comes forward, the facilitator helps the individual find a “team” to help with all of the functions that the individual may not have the skills or interest in completing for a business to be a success. The facilitator helps build the team to support the potential entrepreneur. Then the facilitator provides support to the potential entrepreneur by developing a formal business plan and securing financing for the business. This model focuses on individual entrepreneurs who have dreams (assets) of owning their own business in a rural community.
The EDGE program focuses on developing local communitycapacity to identify emerging and existing entrepreneurs andprovide technical support to them. Research conducted onthis model illustrates the importance of building community capacity and culture to support entrepreneurial activityin rural communities and regions. Statistical data has suggestedthat developing local coalitions focused on supportingentrepreneurial activity locally increases the number ofjobs created as well as the benefits paid for the newly createdjobs. Drawing upon an asset-based approach the WesternEDGE model has five primary objectives. They include:
Careful guidance and support for quality control assure marketing and provide financial security to disadvantaged groups from amongst the populace. This is specifically true for Women’s Groups. The most successful Development Schemes around the world have been and remain those of small producers. These consist of banding together, provision of training, inputs and supervision, production, processing, packaging and eventual sale. The complete support provided by a selfless and non-paternalistic Organization based upon technological excellence has proved to be extremely effective in many Countries around the World. These include the Developed as well as Developing Countries.
These diverse objectives and definitions have often left rural people questioning what is in their best interest when it comes to local and regional development. Today, new models of rural economic development are emerging to deal with the changing landscape of rural economies. These models are linking past, current, and future strategies together as they attempt to provide rural communities an opportunity to create a new and invigorating future.
There is an urgent need to determine future demand, supply and distribution of food to expanding urban communities; to design comprehensive systems in which rural crop and livestock production are holistically integrated with reliable post-harvest preservation and economic distribution from rural producers to urban processors and markets.
