The Pelican Web's Journal of Sustainable Development

I am always scanning the net for resources that provide new insights or confirm long held beliefs on matters of importance to culinary arts and hospitality education.  I have run across such a source that I want to share, entitled the Pelican Web that has a journal and other sources.  The mission of the organization is as follows:

The mission of The Pelican Web is: to collect and analyze knowledge on both obstacles and incentives for sustainable development and, specifically, integral human development; and to publish the monthly, free subscription, open access PelicanWeb's Journal of Sustainable Development. The e-journal provides a monthly digest on current research pursuant to enhancing human solidarity, environmental sustainability, democratic governance, supporting technologies, and both secular and religious non-violence.

The URL for the Pelican Web is: http://pelicanweb.org/

You will be amazed at what you will find on their website to perhaps support your personal pursuits outside of work or the course materials that may prove useful to students, especially the Journal of Sustainable Development, (Vol 6 No 3, March 2010) available at:

Even more interesting was the article I found and read entitled: The New Economy Challenge: Implications for Higher Education, written by David Korten, Board Chair of YES! Magazine which is well worth the 10 minutes to consider the author's viewpoint on higher ed:
