Environmental impact assessment (EIA) can be defined as “the systematic examination of unintended consequences of a development project or program, with the view to reduce or mitigate negative impacts and maximize on positive ones” (EEAA 1996; From: Environmental Solutions, 2005 ...
Even at the city level we see more affluent parts enacting a more ecologically modernizing path (through, for instance, locally based recycling and organic food box schemes), while on the other side of the tracks there remain ‘food deserts’, high-risk air pollution, and lower levels of li...
Environmental implications of food choice are the focus of increasingly extensive research, but less is known about the impacts of dietary patterns of different socio-economic groups of a country, and the trade-offs between nutritional quality and environmental impacts of diet within those groups. We...

Despite its far-reaching implications for conservation and natural resource management, little is known about the color of environmental noise, or the structure of temporal autocorrelation in random environmental variation, in streams and rivers. Here, we analyze the geography, drivers, and timescale-...
The environmental impacts of the program of developing the interior were wholly negative. In Brazil,half of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions are land use changes and another quarter are from the agriculture sector, leading Brazil to emit 10.7 t/capita in greenhouse gases. In Germany, the...
