All baseline scenarios, including the Rio+20 baseline, project a strong increase in agricultural production, driven by population growth and changes in dietary patterns in line with increasing per capita income. Consistent with the historical trends, most of the increase will be met through on average higher production per hectare (intensification). Still, in the Rio+20 baseline a further slow expansion of the agricultural area in developing countries can be observed, especially for crops and much less for pastures. Alternative scenarios explore ways to mitigate this agricultural expansion, looking into the influence of enhanced yield increase, reduction of post-harvest losses or dietary changes.
