Economy and Development

It is essential to understand that growing economically implies observing the way in which this occurs, to avoid middle term distortions, recognizing that Sustainable Development places structural and social changes as priorities. Growth-related practices often neglect knowledge pillars in projects with mainly financial intentions.

The way economic interests overlap with environmental and social assumptions in several cases has the opposite effect of the initial benefit, delaying a people in relation to the objectives of well-being, using resources that could be optimized avoiding delays in the development of a given community.

Traps related to economic expansion linked to the commodities cycle have already proved cruel when we remember a not too far past, placing the duty to connect the gains obtained to the production of goods with greater added value. When this balance is reached, we tend to decrease poverty and increase the population’s conditions of living.
