Policies on land use and biodiversity can be introduced in the various IMAGE components (for an overview, see Component [[Land and biodiversity policies]]). These include changes in the agro-economic model (trade policies, subsidies, taxes, yield improvements, and dietary preferences) and the land-use system (restriction on certain land use types, {{AbbrTemplate|REDD}}). As a linked system, IMAGE can assess the system-wide consequences of measures introduced, including trade-offs and feedbacks, such as the consequences of agricultural policies for nutrient cycles, biodiversity and hunger. Key examples are evaluation of dietary changes with respect to biodiversity, land-use and greenhouse gas emissions, and evaluation of more stringent land-use planning and REDD on biodiversity conservation and food security. | Policies on land use and biodiversity can be introduced in the various IMAGE components (for an overview, see Component [[Land and biodiversity policies]]).
