Defining a land boundary for sustainable livestock consumption

Sustainable land use optimization using Boundary-based Fast Genetic Algorithm

Under the notion of sustainable development, a heuristic method named as the Boundary-based Fast Genetic Algorithm (BFGA) is developed to search for optimal solutions to a land use allocation problem with multiple objectives and constraints. Plans are obtained based on the trade-off among economic benefit, environmental and ecological benefit, social equity including Gross Domestic Product (GDP...

Organising land information for sustainable land administration

Property ownership rights are well managed and understood in developed countries. They are backed by long-standing theoretical, legal and institutional frameworks. In contrast, many new property interests created by governments in response to concerns for sustainability are often poorly managed and understood. If we are to achieve sustainability objectives, the design and administration of thes...

Engineering of land application systems for livestock manure: A review

Laguë, C., Landry, H. and Roberge, M. 2005. Engineering of land application systems for livestock manure: A review. Canadian Biosystems Engineering/Le génie des biosystèmes au Canada 47: 6.17 6.28. Manure constitutes an unavoidable by-product of any livestock production system. The different and often highly variable biological, chemical, and physical properties of livestock manure can result i...

On Defining Real Consumption

Theory can and should be used to better define real consumption. Bad definitions could very well be the reason for the low growth in consumption. I base this statement on the observation that since 1982 the deflators of the a priori badly defined components of consumption have been increasing much more rapidly than the better defined components. If the price of the badly defined components had ...
