A different way of accounting for territories

In the same way that today’s territories have little knowledge of their metabolism, they do not have a consolidated balance sheet of their natural, human or even financial capital. Only the public accounts of the local authorities making up the territory exist, without even a consolidation of these accounts on the scale of the territory as a whole.

If we accept that a territory is a human community and a collective actor, they must be provided with the corresponding tools for observing reality and accounting.
