Associated policy response component

Component: Land and biodiversity policies
Page: Land and biodiversity policies/Agricultural demand

Effects of this policy intervention on components

Component: Agricultural economy and forestry
Effect : Changes demand for certain products, and subsequently productions and trade of that products.

Component: Agricultural systems
Effect : 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.

Component: Nutrient balances
Effect : Dietery 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

Component: Aquatic biodiversity
Effect : Changes in agricultural land use affects nutrient leaching to water bodies.

Component: Terrestrial biodiversity
Effect : This intervention reduces the pressure from agricultural land use to terrestrial biodiversity.
