摘要: Regional resource self-sufficiency has been proposed as a way to improve food security by lessening the demand on long-distance transport. An online tool, Carrying Capacity Dashboard, was developed for Australian conditions in order gauge at three different scales: regional, state and national. It allows users test variety of societal behaviours such diet, biofuel production, farming systems ecological protection practices. Analysis from Dashboard tests effects various consumption patterns land carrying capacity. Findings reveal that Australia’s current capacity is estimated be over 40 million, but if calculated regional basis, this reduced almost half.
