Detailed explanation-1: -The simplest way to define ecological footprint would be to call it the impact of human activities measured in terms of the area of biologically productive land and water required to produce the goods consumed and to assimilate the wastes generated.
Detailed explanation-2: -The impact of a person on the environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -An ecological footprint is the area required to sustainably support a given population rather than the population that a given area can sustainably support. An ecological footprint is therefore the inverse of carrying capacity and provides a quantitative estimate of human carrying capacity.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Importance of Ecological Footprint The ecological footprint is an accounting measure that evaluates the demand and supply of nature. To determine demand, the footprint tallies all the productive elements for which populations usually compete.
