Bioeconomics (fisheries)

Bioeconomics is closely related to the early development of theories in fisheries economics, initially in the mid-1950s by Canadian economists Scott Gordon (in 1954) and Anthony Scott (1955). Resource productivity and Bioeconomics (fisheries) are resource economics.

See Resource productivity and Bioeconomics (fisheries)

Crop

A crop is a plant that can be grown and harvested extensively for profit or subsistence.

See Resource productivity and Crop

Ecodynamics

Ecodynamics is a part of applied economics.

See Resource productivity and Ecodynamics

Ecological economics

Ecological economics, bioeconomics, ecolonomy, eco-economics, or ecol-econ is both a transdisciplinary and an interdisciplinary field of academic research addressing the interdependence and coevolution of human economies and natural ecosystems, both intertemporally and spatially.

See Resource productivity and Ecological economics

Economic cost

Economic cost is the combination of losses of any goods that have a value attached to them by any one individual.

See Resource productivity and Economic cost

Econophysics

Econophysics is a non-orthodox (in economics) interdisciplinary research field, applying theories and methods originally developed by physicists in order to solve problems in economics, usually those including uncertainty or stochastic processes and nonlinear dynamics.

See Resource productivity and Econophysics

Energy & Environment

Energy & Environment is an academic journal "covering the direct and indirect environmental impacts of energy acquisition, transport, production and use".

See Resource productivity and Energy & Environment

Energy accounting

Energy accounting is a system used to measure, analyze and report the energy consumption of different activities on a regular basis. Resource productivity and energy accounting are energy economics and Thermodynamics.

See Resource productivity and Energy accounting

Environmental degradation

Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as quality of air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of wildlife; and pollution.

See Resource productivity and Environmental degradation

Environmental economics

Environmental economics is a sub-field of economics concerned with environmental issues.

See Resource productivity and Environmental economics

Industrial ecology

Industrial ecology (IE) is the study of material and energy flows through industrial systems.

See Resource productivity and Industrial ecology

Irrigation

Irrigation (also referred to as watering of plants) is the practice of applying controlled amounts of water to land to help grow crops, landscape plants, and lawns.

See Resource productivity and Irrigation

Population dynamics

Population dynamics is the type of mathematics used to model and study the size and age composition of populations as dynamical systems.

See Resource productivity and Population dynamics

Resource

Resource refers to all the materials available in our environment which are technologically accessible, economically feasible and culturally sustainable and help us to satisfy our needs and wants. Resource productivity and Resource are resource economics.

See Resource productivity and Resource

Resource consumption

Resource consumption is about the consumption of non-renewable, or less often, renewable resources. Resource productivity and resource consumption are resource economics.

See Resource productivity and Resource consumption

Resource efficiency

Resource efficiency is the maximising of the supply of money, materials, staff, and other assets that can be drawn on by a person or organization in order to function effectively, with minimum wasted (natural) resource expenses.

See Resource productivity and Resource efficiency

Resource intensity

Resource intensity is a measure of the resources (e.g. water, energy, materials) needed for the production, processing and disposal of a unit of good or service, or for the completion of a process or activity; it is therefore a measure of the efficiency of resource use. Resource productivity and resource intensity are economy stubs, energy economics, energy stubs, environmental social science stubs, natural resource management, resource economics, sustainability metrics and indices and Thermodynamics.

See Resource productivity and Resource intensity

Sustainability accounting

Sustainability accounting (also known as social accounting, social and environmental accounting, corporate social reporting, corporate social responsibility reporting, or non-financial reporting) originated in the 1970s and is considered a subcategory of financial accounting that focuses on the disclosure of non-financial information about a firm's performance to external stakeholders, such as capital holders, creditors, and other authorities. Resource productivity and Sustainability accounting are sustainability metrics and indices.

See Resource productivity and Sustainability accounting

Sustainability measurement

Sustainability measurement is a set of frameworks or indicators used to measure how sustainable something is. Resource productivity and Sustainability measurement are sustainability metrics and indices.

See Resource productivity and Sustainability measurement

Sustainable development

Sustainable development is an approach to growth and human development that aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

See Resource productivity and Sustainable development

Systems ecology

Systems ecology is an interdisciplinary field of ecology, a subset of Earth system science, that takes a holistic approach to the study of ecological systems, especially ecosystems.

See Resource productivity and Systems ecology

The Natural Edge Project

The Natural Edge Project (TNEP) was an independent not-for-profit think-tank for sustainability based in Australia.

See Resource productivity and The Natural Edge Project

Thermoeconomics

Thermoeconomics, also referred to as biophysical economics, is a school of heterodox economics that applies the laws of statistical mechanics to economic theory.

See Resource productivity and Thermoeconomics

Water

Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula.

See Resource productivity and Water

World Resources Forum

The World Resources Forum (WRF) is a non-profit organisation for sharing knowledge about the economic, political, social and environmental implications of global resource use. Resource productivity and World Resources Forum are natural resource management and resource economics.
