and create environmental sustainability. The pilot program in San jos is Intel s first smart city implementation in the US.
San jos known as the Capital of Silicon valley is installing a network of sensors to create a sustainability lens that uses Intel technology to measure characteristics such as particulates in the air noise pollution and traffic flow.
Such measurement data will produce meaningful insights that will lead to improvements in air quality noise transportation efficiency environmental sustainability health and energy efficiency.
This project also aligns with the San jos Green Vision a long-term sustainability initiative adopted by the city in 2007 to protect the environment stimulate economic growth
and achieve sustainability. City governments are projected to collectively invest about $41 trillion over the next 20 years to upgrade their infrastructure.

#Sustainability in numbers: New method for estimating nutrient stocks, flows in agriculture A quantitative model for measuring sustainability in the Finnish agricultural sector has been developed in a new thesis. The new model challenges the OECD method which is used currently
when evaluating areas of potential pollution from nutrients. Research scientist Natalia Kuosmanen at MTT Agrifood Research Finland says defining sustainability quantitatively is challenging due to variety of meanings attached to this commonly used concept.
What gets measured gets done as the saying goes. The same truth applies to sustainability.
Can we define sustainability and assess it if we do not have the exact means to measure it?
Kuosmanen asks. New frontiers in ecological economyin her thesis Kuosmanen used established methods of frontier estimation to evaluate sustainability performance of Finnish dairy farms.
The methods are applied commonly for productivity and efficiency analysis in banking and industry. Moreover her thesis include a new dynamic approach to model nutrient stocks and flows.
The stocks and outflows from the stock calculated using the dynamic model could be utilized in sustainability assessment as indicators of environmental pressure from agriculture.
