|Description=In a baseline scenario, agricultural crop and livestock production increases rapidly driven by population increase and dietary changes. This is also the case in baseline scenarios shown in the figure below that are based on FAO projections, and on MAGNET and IMPACT calculations ([[Stehfest et al., 2013]]). As a consequence of production increases, the total area of cropland and pasture is projected to increase, although this is less certain. Depending on scenario and region, some baseline scenarios may also show decreasing land areas, certainly after 2030 when the population starts to decline in several regions.
