WHAT DOES EF STAND FOR?
Definition: the Ecological Footprint - EF of a particular population is defined as the total “area of productive land and water ecosystems required to produce the resources that the population consumes and assimilates the wastes that the production produces, wherever on Earth that land and water may be located” (Rees, 2000). In other words, it measures how much nature we have and how much nature we use. Important: it helps to measure the demand for and the supply of nature, and to understand the impact on the Earth. The Ecological Footprint tracks the use of six categories of productive surface are as: cropland, grazing land, fishing grounds, built-up land, forest area, and car- bon demand on land.
