▪️The Ecological Footprint is a resource accounting tool that measures how much biologically productive land and sea is used by a given population or activity, and
ompares this to how much land and sea is available.
▪️Productive land and sea areas support human demands for food, fibre, timber, energy, and space for infrastructure.
▪️Ecological Footprint accounts answer a specific research question: how much of the biological capacity of the planet is demanded by a given human activity or population
▪️Ecological Footprints can be calculated for individual people, groups of people (such as a nation), and activities (such as manufacturing a product).
