Poverty in comparison to another group

Poverty not compared to other groups; when people consume less than $2.15 USD per day

When people consume $10-$100 USD per day

All the things (materials, production, distribution, sale, use, disposal) that go into creating a product; phases of a product's lifecycle

The theoretical measurement of the amount of land and water a population requires to produce the resources it consumes and to absorb its waste, under prevailing technology

The negative cost other people have to pay for an individual action

The biologically productive area available to provide the resources we use and to absorb our waste

The day when humanity's demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what earth can regenerate in that year

97% salt water, 3% fresh water

69.56% permanently frozen or in glaciers, 30.1% subsurface water, around 1% available to humans

70% agriculture, 22% industrial use, 8% domestic use

An indicator of daily direct and indirect water used by us

Amount of water directly consumed (bathing, drinking)

Amount of water indirectly consumes (water used to grow our food)

Industrial waste water

Surface and subsurface water

Rainwater, evaporated, unevaporated or absorbed by a crop

An individual private entity taking over something

The demand for water is greater than the supply of water

Water is available, but is inaccessible due to economic reasons

Materials the farmer needs to produce food on the farm

The shift in dietary consumption as a country develops

Having physical and economical access to sufficient food to meet dietary needs in order to live a healthy and productive life

A state of poor nutrition. This usually comes from a deficiency of proteins, energy, or minerals. Leads to various health issues depending on the severity of malnutrition

A state where there is a desire of food and an absence of food. A short term need for food

A state where the desire of food becomes extreme due to prolonged food deprivation. Normal bodily functions begin to be affected by this

A situation where acute malnutrition rates among children exceed 30%, more than 2 people per 10,000 die due to hunger per day, and people are not able to access food (UN)

An economy that consists of systems that result in no waste produced or the waste being used as an input; reusing waste (no waste, biological consumables are consumable and technological resources are durable and continue being useful, infinitely renewable energy is used)

Innovations inspired by aspects of nature

Social, economic, environmental

80.2% fossil fuels, 11.2% renewable resources (Wind, Solar, Hydro)

China, US, Brazil

Renewable, non-polluting, relatively cheap to maintain

Expensive to produce, unpredictable and unreliable, noise pollution, impacts environment, nuisance to civillians

Meeting the needs of the present population without compromising the ability to meet future needs

An economy that consists of systems that produce waste that cannot be reused

Indirect water embedded in the production of items
