The
Ecological Footprint (EF) is a measure of the
consumption of renewable natural resources by a human
population. A country's EF is the total area of productive land
or sea required to produce all the crops, eat, seafood, wood and
fiber it consumes to sustain its energy consumption and to give
space for its infrastructure.
According to the
GLOBIO Scenario, by the year 2050, the impact from the
human society on the ecosystems of the world will be severe. Our
influences from construction, cities, and roads decreases the
natural value and the biodiversity where we influence and put
stress on the environment.
