The potential application of the Wealth Ecology Model in this constituency is multifold, across the domains of Energy, Technology, Community, and Education.

Energy: Tourist-heavy areas such as Negril could consider sustainable energy solutions, like solar-powered resorts or tidal energy harnessing, to maintain its beauty while becoming a model of renewable energy usage. Communities like Sheffield and Little London with relatively large spaces may explore solar farms or wind energy solutions.

Technology: In places like Whitehouse and Bluefields, where fishing and agriculture are significant, technology can be instrumental. Drones for agricultural monitoring or GIS-based fishery management can be game-changing.

Community: The smaller communities like Belmont and Cave offer opportunities for community-based initiatives, perhaps in the form of local energy cooperatives or community tourism that revolves around local culture and nature conservation.

Education: Educational infrastructure can focus on imparting skill sets that are relevant to the local industries. In Darliston and Ferris, this could mean technical skills related to agriculture, whereas in Cornwall Mountain, it might focus on heritage conservation and local history, thereby ensuring that education feeds directly back into the community’s productivity.

To sum up, Westmoreland Central is a fertile ground for the application of the Wealth Ecology Model. The blend of tourism, agriculture, and local industry provides avenues for strategic interventions that are rooted in the values of sustainability, social justice, and economic growth, in alignment with your model’s principles.
