“…According to Ferilli et al, debates on the efficacy of culture as a powerful tool of local economic and social revitalization are increasingly frequent, especially in this period of Global economic crisis and obsolescence of traditional growth models and schemes [56]. Sustainable development plays a critical role in supply chain management practices and needs harmonized progress vis-à-vis the economy, social advances, and ecological balance [57,58].…”

Food consumption plays a pivotal role in the economy and the health of individuals. Foods and meals, in addition to sustaining life, also have many functions in society, such as human bonding. The purpose of our study is to present a qualitative research method to show the role of food consumption in the culture of several ethnic groups, and to introduce the ways in which cultural factors influence eating habits and local food supply conditions. In the first part of the research, the sample was a mix of multiple nationalities. During our investigations, the main questions were: What do you think about the culture and value food consumption? What kind of food do you consume the most? What differences do you find in the habits of different ethnic groups, especially regarding their eating habits? In the second part, we asked the main actors of the local supply system (restaurants, buffets, shops) about the ways they track the demand of foreign students. Our results have been implemented into two different SWOT matrixes. We can conclude that such research on food consumption attitudes and community behavior is essential. Most of the interviewed students are interested in comparing their diet and cultural traditions to those of other nations’, and prefer local foods. The study proved that eating habits in Hungary have an impact on the eating habits of international students, and they changed them from several perspectives. The study found that dietary choices are complex decisions that have a significant environmental and social impact, but we need to add that thanks to the strong cultural background, the students can keep their sustainable eating and community values abroad, which can also strongly influence the development of the local food supply practices.

“…Az ökológiailábnyom-kalkulációk további gyakorlati haszna lehet, hogy megtörténik a fogyasztási adatok áttekintése más szempontok szerint is, így olyan adatbázishibák/következetlenségek is feltárhatók, amelyekre addig nem került sor. Az ökológiai lábnyom közös mértékegységet jelenthet az ökohatékony beruházások és intézkedések értékelésére (Tóth et al, 2018). Ugyanakkor fontos kiemelni, hogy az ökohatékonysági fejlesztések esetében nagyon gyakran jelenik meg ún.…”

“…A kalkulátorok áttekintésének tapasztalata azt is megmutatta, hogy a KKV-k számára alkalmas (a szénlábnyom-számításhoz hasonló) online ökológiailábnyom-kalkulátor jelenleg nem áll rendelkezésre. Ez azért meglepő, mert az ökológiai lábnyom népszerű és sokat hivatkozott mutató (Csutora, 2011;Szigeti, 2016) és nagyvállalati ökológiailábnyom-kalkulációk készülnek már Magyarországon is (Tóth et al, 2018). Az ökológiailábnyom-mutató nagy előnyét jelenti, hogy a pénzhez, vagy a karbonlábnyomhoz hasonlóan széleskörűen alkalmazható, de velük szemben, itt pontosan értelmezhető a "túl nagy" fogalma, elkülöníthető a jó és a rossz fejlődés (Tóth & Szigeti, 2016).…”

“…This tool has become very popular among scholars as shown by a multidisciplinary database review (from 1995 to 2019, Web of Science), which includes 636 documents (Clarivate 2018) with the term "ecological footprint" in the title. However, its importance at the micro-level has been questioned by some researchers who concluded that it helps organizations to find areas of intervention in their paths to sustainability and to improve economic benefits (Csutora and Harangozo 2017;Gergely et al 2018;Schaltegger and Csutora 2012) that are related to the corporation's social responsibility (Herva et al 2008).…”

Background: Small-scale fisheries are an important economic sector in terms of employment, national food security, enterprise development and foreign exchange earnings. Overfishing is one of the main impacts directly affecting fisheries. However, there are other kinds of global impacts not frequently considered. The ecological footprint indicator is not new but has been mostly overlooked by scholars in the artisanal fishing sector. The aim of this study was to evaluate the corporate ecological footprint of small-scale fisheries through a fishing cooperative at La Cruz de Loreto in Mexico, and determine its eco-efficiency as non-direct global impacts. Methods: The Compound Method Based on Financial Accounts (MC3.V.2 for its acronym in Spanish, version 2) was used. It includes the categories of emissions, materials, resources, services and contracts, land use and waste. Results: Eco-efficiency, determined by the organization´s ecological footprint, was 0.6 t/ha and its carbon footprint was 0.2 t/tCO2 per year, a low one when compared to others. The consumption category that contributed most to the footprint was indirect emissions and the ecosystem’s fossil energy, which could be explained by the characteristics of the fishing cooperative analyzed. Conclusion: The corporate ecological footprint for La Cruz de Loreto fishing cooperative is low when compared to others, but it indicates that they should improve in the category of indirect emission (reduce the consumption of electricity generated by fossil fuel and use of alternative energy) and should invest in the “forest” type of ecosystem to increase carbon sinks and mitigate the impacts.
