2.1. Calculation principle of the ecological footprint (EF) of grazing land:
The EF of grazing land is the surface demand for livestock feed’s production (grass, crops,
fisheries products such as fishmeal) required to support the production of livestock products
such as meat (red and white), dairy and other products (honey, eggs, wool).
