This essay proposes African-based ethical solutions to profound human problems and a working African model to address those problems. The model promotes sustainability through advanced agroecological and information communication technologies. The essay’s first section reviews the ethical ground of that model in the work of the Senegalese scholar, Cheikh Anta Diop. The essay’s second section examines an applied African model for translating African ethical speculation into practice. Deeply immersed in European and African ethics, Godfrey Nzamujo developed the Songhaï Centers to solve the problem of rural poverty in seventeen African countries. Harnessing advanced technologies within a holistic agroecological ecosystem, Nzamujo’s villages furnish education spanning the fields of ethics, information communication technology, microbiology, international development, and mechanical, electrical, civil and biological engineering in a community-based and centered development enterprise. The essay proposes a global consortium of ecovillages based on Nzamujo’s model. The final section explores funding methods for the consortium. The conclusion contemplates a return to Africa to supplement environmental ethics that enhance life’s future on earth.

非洲环境伦理:通过生态农业村实现可持续发展的关键



本文提出了针对深刻的人类问题的基于非洲的伦理解决方案,以及解决这些问题的有效非洲模式。该模式通过先进的农业生态和信息通信技术促进可持续性。本文的第一部分回顾了塞内加尔学者谢赫·安塔·迪奥普 (Cheikh Anta Diop) 著作中该模型的伦理基础。本文的第二部分探讨了将非洲伦理思辨转化为实践的非洲应用模式。戈弗雷·恩扎穆霍 (Godfrey Nzamujo) 深受欧洲和非洲伦理的熏陶,创立了桑海中心 (Songhai Centers),以解决 17 个非洲国家的农村贫困问题。恩扎穆霍的村庄利用整体农业生态系统中的先进技术,在一个以社区为基础、以社区为中心的发展企业中提供涵盖道德、信息通信技术、微生物学、国际发展以及机械、电气、土木和生物工程等领域的教育。这篇文章提出了一个基于恩扎穆霍模型的全球生态村联盟。最后一部分探讨了该联盟的融资方法。结论是考虑返回非洲以补充环境伦理,从而改善地球上生命的未来。
