Answer:

A lower ecological footprint.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ecological footprint describes how much land, water and other non-renewable natural resources is needed to produce the food, materials, energy and other products that a society consumes in a given period of time, and to treat the waste generated by said production and consumption in the same period. The ecological footprint is widely used as a measure of sustainable development, while a greater ecological footprint implies a greater impact on the environment by society.

Therefore, the more a country depends on natural or primary production activities, the less it impacts the environment and, therefore, the smaller the nation's ecological footprint.
