• W2104293121 abstract "This is a study of the natural resource base of Nicaragua with special emphasis on some agricultural crops. The objectives of the study were: 1) To assess whether the export of refined instead of green coffee would make coffee exports more favourable for Nicaragua, and 2) to assess the economic profitability and ecological carrying capacity for important crops in tropical agriculture. Emergy synthesis (ES) methodology was used together with Cost and Return Analysis (CAR) and Ecological Footprint (EF), in order to investigate how the results differed as regards the different aims, theoretical backgrounds and differences in system boundaries of these methods. The emergy exchange ratio (EER) of coffee exports between Nicaragua and the more economically developed trading nations indicated that the trade was not in favour of Nicaragua because the country exports much more real wealth (measured in emergy) in the coffee than it imports in the money received for the coffee, i.e. it is thereby depleting its indigenous natural resources. These findings were supported by the emergy indices calculated at the national level (percent renewable, ratio of imports to exports, emergy to money ratio, environmental loading ratio and emergy sustainability index). Regarding the use of emergy synthesis, cost and return analysis and ecological footprint, the study indicated that cabbage and tomato were the most profitable crops, both in economic and emergy terms, and that coffee was the least profitable crop to grow. When sustainability was measured as ecological carrying capacity, beans, coffee and maize were the most sustainable crops. Comparison of the results from ES, CAR and EF indicate poor coherence between short-term economic profitability and long-term ecological sustainability. No single method or index was enough to answer all questions and to include all aspects. However, emergy synthesis and its theoretical perspective was found to be a more comprehensive tool that gave more information on the balance between the long-term ecological sustainability and economic profitability than the two other methods used. Emergy synthesis could be used to assess overall sustainability for a country and trade. It may also provide a basis for proposing changes in trade policies." @default.
