Economically extended—MFA: a material flow approach for a better understanding of food production chain
TLDR
In this paper, the authors introduce a method called economically extended material flow analysis (EE-MFA), which aims at studying causal relationships between economically motivated human behaviour and resource consumption. But it is not suitable for the case of food production.About:

Comparison of Frameworks for Analyzing Social-ecological Systems
TL;DR: This paper compares 10 established frameworks for analyzing social-ecological systems and concludes that three main criteria suffice to produce a classification of frameworks that may be used as a decision tree when choosing a framework for analysis.

A comparative study of some environmental impacts of conventional and organic farming in Australia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comparative assessment of on-farm and indirect energy consumption, land disturbance, water use, employment, and emissions of greenhouse gases, NOx, and SO2 of organic and conventional farming in Australia.

TL;DR: The study revealed that the life span of a personal computer has considerable influence upon the system, most notably in the following two aspects: (i) a prolonged life span creates value by means of refurbishing and upgrading activities, and (ii) it slows down the flow rate of the whole system.

Input-output economics
TL;DR: The only comprehensive introduction which Leontief has written to his model of Input-Output Economics, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in economic Science in 1972, is as discussed by the authors.

Economic Input–Output Models for Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that these models can be represented as process flow diagrams or as matrices of process interactions, provided the process models are proportional in nature (any increase in product output produces a corresponding environmental burden).

Metabolism of the Anthroposphere
Peter Baccini,Paul H. Brunner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of material fluxes in the immediate human environment -the anthroposphere -were discussed, with examples on how to qualify and quantify the metabolism of complex biological and cultural systems.
