Prairies, savanes et terres arbustives tempéréesLes prairies, savanes et terres arbustives tempérées forment un biome terrestre qui regroupe les étendues herbacées au climat tempéré pouvant prendre le nom de steppe, pampa ou veld selon l'endroit où elles se localisent. Le paysage naturel est celui d'une immense étendue d'herbes dont les arbres sont le plus souvent complètement absents, sauf le long des cours d'eau. Cet ensemble couvre de vastes superficies (plaines) souvent situé au cœur de nombreuses étendues continentales aux latitudes extrêmement grandes.

Indirect land use change impacts of biofuelsThe indirect land use change impacts of biofuels, also known as ILUC or iLUC (pronounced as i-luck), relates to the unintended consequence of releasing more carbon emissions due to land-use changes around the world induced by the expansion of croplands for ethanol or biodiesel production in response to the increased global demand for biofuels. As farmers worldwide respond to higher crop prices in order to maintain the global food supply-and-demand balance, pristine lands are cleared to replace the food crops that were diverted elsewhere to biofuels' production.

Supply chain sustainabilitySupply-chain sustainability is the impact a company’s supply chain can make in promoting human rights, fair labor practices, environmental progress and anti-corruption policies. There is a growing need for integrating sustainable choices into supply-chain management. An increasing concern for sustainability is transforming how companies approach business. Whether motivated by their customers, corporate values or business opportunity, traditional priorities such as quality, efficiency and cost regularly compete for attention with concerns such as working conditions and environmental impact.
