Nitrogen Footprint accounting and food sustainability
Anthropogenic perturbation of the nitrogen cycle poses significant environmental and social challenges, highlighting the need for effective nitrogen management in sustainable food systems. The Nitrogen Footprint (N-Footprint) offers an innovative metric to quantify reactive nitrogen (Nr) emissions and trace their environmental pathways. This study refines a previous N-Footprint accounting framework to include both direct and indirect Nr emissions…
Teaching sustainability within the context of everyday life
In a world characterized by Ecological Overshoot, where humanity demands more from natural ecosystems than they can sustainably renew, education can nurture sustainability-minded citizens and future leaders to help accelerate the transition toward an era where our finite planet’s resources stand at the core of all decision-making. Despite the essential role of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in contributing to a sustainable society, a holisti…

Environmental and Economic Evaluation of Natural Capital Appropriation through Building Construction
This paper focuses on appropriation of natural capital through construction of buildings. The ecological footprint and the Costanza natural capital concepts are applied. The environmental consequences of human settlement are currently of great concern, and a need is felt to reduce the impact of building on the environment. The embodied energy of building materials and the "land area" required to sustain their production are considered to evaluate…
Sustainability indicators for environmental performance and sustainability assessment of the productions of four fine Italian wines
Increased awareness of the importance of environmental protection and the introduction of international standards like ISO 14001 stimulated development of environmental sustainability indicators as a means to measure systems environmental performance. Here, a thermodynamic approach, emergy analysis (Odum, 1988) was used to obtain sustainability indicators able to analyse and quantify the productive and ecological performance of four famous Italia…
