Translation of "Landverbrauch" in English

Other major elements include land use for agriculture, transport and buildings.

One pressing problem in Switzerland is the ongoing trend of land consumption.

This immense land consumption is mainly due to the cultivation of forage.

Other major elements include land use for agriculture, transport and buildings.

In addition, between 1980 and 1998 there was an 11% rise in amount of land taken by road networks in Member States.

Never mind that this is hugely inefficient in terms of water and land usage.

Land consumption causes 37 million Euros which is a quarter of the total costs.

Global land use, mainly to benefit the European Union and the United States, cannot increase much more.

Water and land use can be reduced by more than two thirds without a decline in income.

At the same time, the dependence on the weather of decentralised energy generation pushes up energy prices and increases land consumption.

Moreover, growing urbanization and other non-agricultural uses of land have reduced acreage available for food production, while agricultural land is increasingly used to produce commodities other than food, such as bio-fuels.

These included economic and social issues such as poverty and social exclusion, but also a number of environmental problems such as climate change, the depletion of natural resources, transport and land-use pressures and the longer term effects of many hazardous chemicals in everyday use.

We are already losing 275 hectares of soil per day in the EU because of soil sealing and associate land intake.

However the Council is concerned at the significant impact that increases in the provision and use of transport have on human health and the environment, for instance in relation to climate change, air quality, acidification, noise, the degradation of seas and coastal areas, the consumption and fragmentation of land resources.

If we are to reach the state of no net land take by 2050, following a linear path, we would need to reduce land take to an average of 800 km² per year in the period 2000-2020.

Anaveruge land use factor per bed for each category ofaccorrunodation should be calculated,using existingland or dwelling registers.

It limits emissions and waste within the planet's ability to absorb them, uses resources at or below the rates of generation, and minimises the use of land and generation of noise.

And this has to do with the fact that in this assessment we took into account all the changes in land use that are related to livestock, the production of animals in terms of methane, the manure management in terms of also methane and nitrous oxides and the various steps of the feed production, livestock production, processing, transport and so on that have to do with livestock and feed commodities and this is how you get to 18%. OK.

Concepts for the provision of both renewable energy and renewable materials are characterized by a more decentralized, but also more land-intensive distribution of plants and by the need to develop and implement new technologies (such as energy saving systems, energy storage systems, E-mobility, integrated biorefineries).

The world's food security would be ensured even with over 9 billion people in 2050, agricultural land area would not increase, greenhouse gas emissions would be lowered and the negative effects of today's intensive food systems, such as nitrogen surplus and high pesticide exposure, would be greatly reduced.

The main reason for the decline of biodiversity and the population decline of wildlife birds in many areas of Central Europe, are the loss of habitat since the 1950s. Because of monocultures in agriculture without edible wild herbs, cessation of fallow land on which grew many wild plants, the land consumption for the construction of settlements and transport sectors, as well as the use of (ugh!) insecticides.

Such a food system has positive effects on important environmental aspects by curbing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing over-fertilisation and use of pesticides, and does not lead to a higher land use despite organic management.

Some of the advantages of compact housing schemes are low land consumption, a better balance in energy consumption, reduced expenditure for the necessary infrastructure, and a higher urban life quality compared to the satellite cities of today in the outskirts of towns by means of private free spaces despite dense development.

This includes the whole spec-trum of factors which, from a comprehensive ecological point of view, can be de-signed for a building in a sustainable way. I would like to mention, for example, land use, sealing of surrounding areas, use of renewable raw materials for construction and interior finishing, room climate, traffic topics, green roofs, in inner areas, on the façade and around the building.

Each time that you treat your dog with Eat Small Insect Power, you help cut down greenhouse gas emissions, and lower water and land use.

Land use and infrastructure (real estate, apparatus, vehicles etc.) are not considered, nor is the impact of use and disposal of products at customer level.

The installation of wind power technology at or on top of the house avoids additional land consumption, but still reduces monthly energy costs.

Saga pedo is threatened due to the decline of suitable habitat, especially in the few advanced distribution islands in Central Europe, but also in the Mediterranean area by the land consumption of man (mainly agriculture, but also industry, transport infrastructure and tourism) and reforestation.
