biological footprint measures the impact parameters of the various methods of life, of production.
It 'important to evaluate it to see which of these methods allow effective regeneration and sustainability of raw materials, in order to avoid excessive depletion or extinction of the same.
It 'a new study and is essential for the survival of the Earth.
More a lifestyle or a product labeled organic have a mark, more are to be discarded.
An example in the field of purchasing managers:
- products of the earth, the third-party management and long chain.
Large retailers are biological entities with a strong, why implement a pressure economic producers, creating a gap between the very low purchase prices and higher sales prices (on everything just to maintain the high profit margin).
This has multiple consequences and chain that go far beyond the simple acquisition cost high :
- producers in an effort to maintain the profitability of the product, force it out season to the so-called first fruits . This means extensive use of chemicals, widely used means of heating, the destruction of the product to the seasonal return = pollution, increase of social ills, waste.
- the use of sophisticated means in agriculture provides a big financial commitment, so many of those who are not able to deal with are forced to abandon their crops. Pour on the industrial centers looking for work = increase in population pressure in urban centers, rising unemployment and unskilled labor, thereby also increasing social tensions.
- the abandonment of land leads to an impoverishment of the productive base (necessary to sustain human), but also to a serious deterioration of the basic structures that protect the territory = flooding, floods, landslides, mudslides.
Returning to bomb, a seller pulling it to increase sales, buy-in cost, there is offering a deal, but it helps to dig the grave.
