Basics
- The change in land use brought about by a policy/activity
- Is subdivided into direct and indirect
- Relevant mainly in Carbon Accounting (and if dealing with undeveloped land, ecological impacts as well)
- For instance if implemented poorly, biofuels could lead to more unsustainable farming, or deforestation, and thus not be a truely "Sustainable Biofuel"
- The reverse can be true, such as how increasing cost on certain animal feeds may have reduced meat consumption demand due to increased prices etc
- Complicated to determine in some instances, but an important aspect to consider in a LCA nonetheless
Internal Links
- Afforestation / Deforestation (Good examples of direct, heavily impactful direct land use change)
