Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine how political influences have stagnated the growth in agricultural and environmental progress in developing nations. The case study will focus around Guyana and nearby Latin American countries as to how their decisions as a nation have set them back in the race for a greener and more sustainable earth. The study seeks to answer the research question, how politics and global trade hurt Guyana’s health and environment? The goal is to analyze the historic decisions made by politicians and determine as well if there were other factors besides trade influencing the changes in Guyana’s health and environment.
