Key Concepts

Consumptive Value

Consumptive value refers to the benefits that humans obtain from using natural resources for direct, tangible products such as food, fuel, or raw materials. It is a concept within conservation and ecological economics that emphasizes the importance of biological resources as direct supplies for human consumption and sustenance.

Direct Use Value

Direct use value is a classification within environmental valuation that captures the immediate benefits obtained from nature through direct utilization, like harvesting wildlife or plants for food, recreation, or materials. This concept highlights how living organisms and ecosystems provide measurable benefits by being directly consumed or used by humans.
