Ecological footprint is the product of three factors: population size, intensity of resource extraction, intensity of waste production. Each of these factors puts strain on our food systems. Search for a strategy human populations or individuals can make to reduce one of the three factors that contribute to our ecological footprint. Practice good Initiative skills as you consider strategies that could be specific to a particular part of the world. How would this help our food systems to be more effective at producing quality food?
An ecological community is a. a group of species that coexist and interact within a defined area. b. a group of species that coexist and interact in an area together with the abiotic environment. c. all the species in an area that belong to a particular trophic level. d. all the species that are members of a local food web. e. All of the above
