Direct model drivers are inferred from the scenario drivers and used in setting the parameter values in IMAGE 3.0. The start values are estimated from the literature and data, and future changes in values are inferred from the narratives and scenario drivers. The resulting parameter values are used as input for different parts of IMAGE 3.0. A list of most important model drivers, their source and their use in [[Framework overview]]is given in Table model drivers below. | Direct model drivers are inferred from the scenario drivers and used in setting the parameter values in IMAGE 3.0.

The management factor ({{AbbrTemplate|MF}}) describes the actual yield per crop group and per socio-economic region as a proportion of the maximum potential yield. This maximum potential yield is estimated taking into account inhomogeneous soil and climate data across grid cells. The MF for the period up to 2005 is estimated as part of the IMAGE calibration procedure, using FAO statistics on actual crop yields and crop areas ([[FAO, 2013a]]). The start year for the MF is subsequently taken as point of departure for future projections. | The management factor ({{AbbrTemplate|MF}}) describes the actual yield per crop group and per socio-economic region as a proportion of the maximum potential yield.

Future technological change is dependent on the storyline and needs to be consistent with other scenario drivers. For instance, strong economic growth is typically facilitated by rapid technology development and deployment, rising wages and a labour shift from primary production (agriculture) to secondary (industry) and tertiary (services) sectors. These developments foster more advanced management and technology in agriculture. In order to reflect different trends in exogenous yield increase, FAO trends are combined with projections of economic growth to develop scenario-specific trends of yield changes in multiple—baseline studies, like for the {{AbbrTemplate|SSP}}s. Because the MF is such a decisive factor in future net agricultural land area, careful consideration of uncertainties is warranted. | Future technological change is dependent on the storyline and needs to be consistent with other scenario drivers.
