"Balancing the sustainable use of natural resources and consumption is an unavoidable issue in the face of continuous global population growth. Seeking sustainable practices in the use of nature resources would allow humans to live in harmony with nature. I believe that through a market-based strategy, promoting sustainable land management and business practices would achieve positive social and environmental impacts."
