Africa this past July, I read,.. in a weekly or bi-wkly S. African business magazine "innovation"(s) section, an article which simply ASTOUNDED me. A young woman had developed (invented) a rural use ,non-electric refridgerator, PORTABLE, that keeps perishable food at a temp. like 28degrees, WITHOUT ELECTRICITY, simply using the heat of sunlight. I have written to find out more through the S. African business magazine publishers assoc., since I am convinced that these types of ideas will be the ones to remove us from the current oil based systems degrading our entire planet. While in S.

In the scheme of the larger population or the given economic sector what would it be the social, economical and political impact of those who are supported and got out of poverty verses others who remain the same? Could there be an innovative holistic approach that would support the whole community or and an economic entity at a regional or national level to create transparency from the bottom up? Say for example an integrated marketing approach for the whole. Randomly supporting one or the other individuals or group can have its own complex social dynamics. How does one control for such, not immediately visible but crucial issue that can turns in to conflicts, especially in heterogeneous groups?
