L'analyse éco-énergétique des écosystèmes ruraux

The eco-energy analysis (AEE) enables energy investments in humanized systems, especially in farming and the food industry, to be estimated. Balance sheets have already been drawn up at various theoretical levels and in various forms taking methodological difficulties into account.

In this way the similarity between the AEE and the labour-value theory. The AEE provides the means of analysing and judging the future ot the present management of natural resources.
