Alternative Development Models

Alternative Development Models refer to strategies for economic growth that differ from conventional approaches focused solely on industrialization and capitalism. These models emphasize sustainable practices, social equity, and local community empowerment. They may include agroecology, social entrepreneurship, and participatory governance, aiming to create economies that benefit people and the environment. Instead of prioritizing profit at all costs, these models focus on improving quality of life, reducing inequalities, and preserving natural resources for future generations, providing a holistic approach to development that meets diverse needs and values local cultures.
