}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Agricultural systems
|EffectDescription=Agriculture is not allowed in protected areas and therefore is allocated at other locations.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate

|EffectDescription=No pressure from agricultural land use in protected areas. Outside protected areas this pressure may increase.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate

Changes in crop and livestock production systems

2014-04-03T13:08:32Z

JennifervanKolck:

{{PolicyInterventionTemplate
|Component=Agricultural economy and forestry
|Description=General changes in crop and livestock production systems, e.g. more efficient production methods to create higher production per unit of input, or other systems like organic farming
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Agricultural economy and forestry
|EffectDescription=Effect of this bunch of interventions is a change in the relation between the use of external inputs (capital), land and labour. For livestock systems the intervention can result in the use of more feed instead of grazing. For cropping systems it could, for example, express the use of more fertilizer to increase yields (closing the yield gap).
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Nutrient balances
|EffectDescription=intervention may be increased fertilizer use, or fertilizer use efficiency ...
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Hydrological cycle
|EffectDescription=Intervention may be irrigation ....
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Aquatic biodiversity
|EffectDescription=On one hand the increase of productivity increases nutrient leaching to water bodies, on the other hand asmaller agricultural area is needed, reducing the pressures from agriculture.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Terrestrial biodiversity
|EffectDescription=Impacts terrestrial biodiversity in two ways: 1) a smaller agricultural area decrease habitat loss and 2) it increase intensity of the agricultural area and consequently the biodiversity value of those areas.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Ecosystem goods and services
|EffectDescription=Increase intensity of the agricultural area, reduces nature on agricultural area thereby negatively influencing the ES dependent of nature (e.g. flood and erosion protection, pest control and pollination). While systems like organic farming contain more nature on agricultural areas and thereby positively influencing ES.

Agricultural trade policies

2014-04-03T13:04:25Z

JennifervanKolck:

{{PolicyInterventionTemplate
|Component=Agricultural economy and forestry
|Description=Changes in agricultural trade policies are applied to the corresponding quota (export or import quota) or border taxes.
|Reference=Verburg et al., 2009;
|LanduseThemeItem=Agricultural land use (Land use)
|FoodThemeItem=Trade (Food)
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Agricultural economy and forestry
|EffectDescription=Impact of this policy intervention is a change in trade between regions, and consequently a change in production within a region for the different crop and livestock sectors.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Agricultural systems
|EffectDescription=Due to changed production in agricultural commodities, land use for agriculture within a region will change.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Terrestrial biodiversity
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Ecosystem goods and services
|EffectDescription=Change in land use for agriculture, will also result in a change in nature and thereby influence the ES depenent on nature (e.g. erosion and flood protection, pest control and pollination).
Large agricultural areas negatively influence the ES "nature based tourism", therefore change in agricultural land use will influence the ES "nature based tourism".

{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Agricultural economy and forestry
|EffectDescription=Changes demand for certain products, and subsequently productions and trade of that products.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Livestock
|EffectDescription=Changes the production of livestock products within a region.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Agricultural systems
|EffectDescription=Changes in production of agricultural commodities within a region, change the land use for agricultural purposes. As well the total area for agriculture as the ratio grass to crop area.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Nutrient balances
|EffectDescription=Dietary changes, for example assumes that by 2050 10% of the baseline scenario’s beef consumption is replaced by poultry meat in all producing regions, without accounting for changes in agricultural trade
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Aquatic biodiversity
|EffectDescription=Changes in agricultural land use affects nutrient leaching to water bodies.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Terrestrial biodiversity
|EffectDescription=This intervention reduces the pressure from agricultural land use to terrestrial biodiversity.
}}
{{PolicyInterventionEffectTemplate
|EffectOnComponent=Ecosystem goods and services
|EffectDescription=Dietary changes reduces the amount of the ES "food" needed
When the reduced agricultural land use, results in an increase of natural area, the supply of the services dependend nature (e.g. erosion and flood protection, pollination and pest control), will be increased.
