===Land use===  
In addition to the standard GTAP model, MAGNET  includes a dynamic land supply function ([[Van Meijl et al., 2006]] that accounts for the availability and suitability of land for agricultural use, based on information from IMAGE (see below, and figure on the right). A nested land-use structure accounts for the different degrees of substitutability between types of land use ([[Huang et al., 2004]]; [[Van Meijl et al., 2006]]). In addition, the MAGNET model includes international and EU agricultural policies, such as production quota and export\import tariffs  ([[Helming et al., 2010]].
