Sustainable use of natural resources
With a view to facilitating consensus on how to resolve some of the key environmental challenges facing the world such as, food security, ecosystem resilience and the depletion of natural capital, the International Sustainability Unit (ISU) was established by Britain's Prince of Wales, HRH Prince Charles. In addition to monitoring progress on the forest finance package, the ISU has been working in two new sectors - sustainable agriculture and marine ecosystem.
In fact, resilience of the ecosystem and sustainable agriculture are very important issues. The current intensive agricultural practices to produce more food crops for the ever increasing global population is not only causing a reduction in soil fertility and productivity but also creating a negative impact on the ecosystem. Sustainable use of environmental elements is essential for ensuring resilience of the ecosystem.
