In this context, the regional perspective is becoming particularly important, and even more so in countries such as Spain, where the autonomous communities have the primary responsibility for implementing measures to combat environmental degradation and promote sustainable development, in coordination with national strategies. Taking as a case study a Spanish region, Aragon, and significant economic sectors, including agriculture and the food industry, the aim of this work is twofold. First, we calculate the associated environmental footprints (of emissions and water) from the dual perspectives of production (local impacts) and consumption (final destination of the goods produced by the agri-food industry). Second, through a scenarios analysis, based on a general equilibrium model designed and calibrated specifically for the region, we evaluate the environmental implications of changes in the agri-food industry (changes in the export and import pattern, as well as in consumer behavior). This model provides a flexible approximation to the environmental impacts, controlling for a wider range of behavioral and economic interactions. Our results indicate that the agri-food industry has a significant impact on the environment, especially on water resources, which must be responsibly managed in order to maintain the differential advantage that a regional economy can have, compared to other territories. info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 3.265 2015 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 50 / 224 = 0.223 2015 Q1 T1 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 12 / 30 = 0.4 2015 Q2 T2 ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL 15 / 49 = 0.306 2015 Q2 T1 1.455 2015 Economics and Econometrics 2015 Q1 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2015 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2015 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Duarte, Rosa Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3113-1698 Sánchez-Chóliz, Julio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9521-4156 Sarasa, Cristina Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-4802-600X Serrano, Ana (orcid)0000-0001-6991-7915 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
