Sustainability: Encyclopedia II - Sustainability - Sustainability Index

In 1999 M.T.Brown and S.Ulgiati [1] formulated a quantitative sustainability index (SI) as a ratio of the emergy yield ratio (EYR) to the environmental loading ratio (ELR). Brown and Ulgiati also called the sustainability index, the "Emergy Sustainability Index" (ESI), "an index that accounts for yield, renewability, and environmental load. It is the incremental emergy yield compared to the environmental load" (1999, p. 7). The ratio is defined as follows: (From Table 3. 'Global Emergy Indicies' in Brown and Ulgiati 19 ...

Sustainability: Encyclopedia - David Holmgren

David Holmgren (born 1955) is an ecologist, writer and co-originator of the permaculture concept. David Holmgren - Biographical details and Permaculture One. Holmgren was born in Western Australia. He studied at the College of Advanced Education in Hobart, Tasmania, where in 1972 he met Bill Mollison, who was then a lecturer at the University of Tasmania. The two found they shared a strong interest in the relationship between human and natural systems. Their wide-ranging conversations and gardening e ...

Sustainability: Encyclopedia - Crop yield

In agriculture, crop yield (also known as "agricultural output") is a measure of the yield per unit area of land under cultivation. As agricultural practices and technology have improved over time, so too have crop yields. Historically, widespread and lasting increases in crop yields have allowed more people to be fed using fewer resources. However, modern agricultural practices, which seek to maximise crop yield, tend to have an a ...

Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) coordinates United Nations environmental activities, assisting developing countries in implementing environmentally sound policies and to encourage sustainable development through sound environmental practices. Its activities cover a wide range of issues, from atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems, the promotion of environmental science and information, to an early warning and emerge ...

Sustainability: Encyclopedia - Xeriscaping

Xeriscaping, a word coined by combining xeros (Greek for "dry") with landscaping, is a water-conservative approach to landscaping. Plants whose natural requirements are appropriate to the local climate are emphasized, and care is taken to avoid losing water to evaporation and run-off. Xeriscape is a trademark created by the Denver Water Board[1]. Xeriscaping is not the same as hardscaping (in which the landscape consists mostly of concrete, stones or gravel, with perhaps a cactus or two thrown in), but can ...

Sustainability: Encyclopedia - Cash crop

In agriculture, a cash crop is a crop which is grown for money. The term is used to differentiate from subsistence crops, which are those fed to the producer's own livestock or grown as food for the producer's family. In earlier times cash crops were usually only a small (but vital) part of a farm's total yield, while today, especially in the developed countries, almost all crops are mainly grown for cash. In non-developed nations, cash crops are usually crops which attract demand in more deve ...

Sustainability: Encyclopedia - Biodynamic agriculture

Biodynamic agriculture, or Biodynamics comprises an ecological and sustainable system of agricultural production, particularly of food for humans that claims to respect all creation. It is based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, particularly eight lectures given by him in Schloss Koberwitz in Silesia, Germany in 1924 (nowadays close to Wrocław, Poland), shortly before his death. At the time Steiner believed that the introduction of chemical farming was a major problem. He found that seeds had dramatically less vitality and t ...

Sustainability: Encyclopedia - Permaculture

Permaculture is a design system which aims to create sustainable human habitats by following nature's patterns. The word 'permaculture', coined by Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgren during the 1970s, is derived as a contraction of permanent agriculture, or permanent culture. The idea of permacuture is considered among the most significant innovations developed by Australian's in the century since Australian federation [1]. However like "nature", the permaculture concept evolves with time making its definition difficult ...
