These Web sites have both secure and non-secure parts, high quality graphics arts and photos, searchable lists of members and representatives, extensive site maps, as well as use of sound to introduce a viewer to the music of the Americas. The Third World Foundation implements programs which allow developing nations to apply newly developed scientific methodologies to the problems of disease, food security and overpopulation, sustainable community development, and ecological restoration. These problems are closely linked. In many areas of the world, poor farming practices degrade the landscape to the point at which indigenous populations must leave. These degraded landscapes become new ecosystems that host new types of disease.
People migrate to cities.
Overpopulation and food security result. Solutions are also interconnected. As science uncovers new techniques to address the compelling issues facing the developing world, methodologies must be created to adapt these techniques to the developing world's needs. Prospect Technologies has developed for the Third World Foundation a number of electronic tools to service their member scientists. The Radiance Process SM is a globally patented, water and chemical free industrial cleaning process that removes contaminants from surfaces using a laser and flowing inert gas like nitrogen.
