The Rationale
This paper is about processing and production methods (PPMs), their significance for sustainable development, and the need
for the international community, including governments and NGOs, to address this issue. In an increasingly global economy, it
may well be that a similarly global approach will be needed to address successfully the negative social, ecological and
economic effects of many of the PPMs that predominate today a global approach that is also sensitive to the range of needs
and priorities of different communities. This paper seeks to initiate a broad discussion on how to develop such an approach.
