|Description=About one third of the Earth’s land area is under cropland and pasture. The proportion of areas suitable for agriculture that is already in use is even larger. Humans strongly depend on agricultural production, as supported by soils and climatic circumstances, and thus need to rely on a continued functioning of these systems. On the other hand, major environmental problems rise from the size and intensity of agricultural land use, for example greenhouse gas emissions, distortions of the nutrient and water cycles, and biodiversity loss. Total agricultural area, globally or in a region, may be sufficient to assess the first order effects of production potential and environmental impacts. However, the location of agricultural land in a region or landscape is extremely important because yields of crops and grass depend on soil and climate, and also on spatially heterogeneous socio-economic factors, and because many impacts are location dependent.


The location of new agricultural area determines the vegetation type removed, and thus the amount of carbon emitted, and the biodiversity impacts related to a loss of the vegetation type. Extreme examples of location-specific impacts are conversion of carbon- and species-rich peatland and wetlands. Other factors include the impact of agriculture on nutrient and water cycles, and location characteristics such as soil properties and slope. As well as the location, the composition of landscapes is a determining factor because how land uses are connected determines to some extent the environmental impact and the production potential. For environmental impacts, the most prominent examples of landscape composition are biodiversity effects, wind and water erosion, hydrology, and ecosystem services. Some crops benefit from nearby forests for pollination and pest control, while others suffer additional pest pressure. Consequently, accurate and high resolution modelling of agricultural land use is essential in global integrated assessment.


In IMAGE, the spatial allocation of crops, pasture and bioenergy is driven by regional crop and grassland production and their respective intensity levels, as calculated by the the IMAGE agro-economic model ([[Agricultural economy]]), by the potential crop and grass yields ([[Crop and grass]]), and suitability factors, applying two alternative methods.
