The Biocapacity Deficit O The difference between the biocapacity and Ecological Footprint of a region or country. A biocapacity deficit occurs when the Footprint of a population exceeds the biocapacity of the area available to that population. O The Ecological Footprint measures the amount of biologically productive land and water area required to produce the resources an individual, population or activity consumes and to absorb the waste it generates, given prevailing technology and resource management.

* Biocapacity deficit is in statistical equilibrium with ecological foot print over some spatial scale. * This all changes with the industrial revolution and the use of machines to greatly increase our ecological footprint while reducing biocapacity.

ROW MATTERS!

In 2008 people used the equivalent of 1.5 planets to support their activities; in 2013 that number was planets Most of this behavior is driven by increasing use of carbon resources for energy
