The analysis of material and energy flows, passing through the different sectors in an economic system, is a type of methodology, today quite utilized, capable of quantifying the exchanges between the tecnosphere (different economic sectors) and biosphere. In this way it is possible to construct indicators in physical units as Gross Material Product (GMP), which can integrate the information obtained by the traditional system of monetary accounting. The economic indicators expressed in physic units provide more detailed information, which could be the base for each economic decision making. Considering these preliminary assumptions and the previous author’s papers, this note analyses the Italian animal sector, a good example for its economic and material implications. This analysis is another step to complete the accounting in physical units of the whole Italian economic system.

Abstract
The analysis of material and energy flows, passing through the different sectors in an economic system, is a type of methodology, today quite utilized, capable of quantifying the exchanges between the tecnosphere (different economic sectors) and biosphere. In this way it is possible to construct indicators in physical units as Gross Material Product (GMP), which can integrate the information obtained by the traditional system of monetary accounting. The economic indicators expressed in physic units provide more detailed information, which could be the base for each economic decision making. Considering these preliminary assumptions and the previous author’s papers, this note analyses the Italian animal sector, a good example for its economic and material implications. This analysis is another step to complete the accounting in physical units of the whole Italian economic system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
