Abstract

Data from UNO reveal that world population will surpass 10 billion inhabitants by 2010, and 90 % of the population increase will take place in developing countries, euphemism used when referring to poor nations. This growth will take place without changes in harvest of these countries. Nowadays, the 25% of rich countries consume 75% of all energy, 75% of all metals, and 60% of the food produced in the world. If one thinks to extend the wealth to all people another barrier appears. The planet resources are not able to keep even the maintenance of the actual situation. This article discusses indicators used for environment, social, and human health, showing the correlation between them, demonstrating the need to deal globally with them.
