<h3>Agricultural forestry</h3>
The demand for forest products can be derived in IMAGE from several sources. In the most simple case via a simple relation with GDP, or, preferably, prescribed from specific forest demand models like [[EFIGTM]]. In the future, full competition of forestry with other land uses can be accounted for by using the forestry component of MAGNET (not available yet). Other land use changes, like the expansion of infrastructure, which do not require inter-regional connections, are described in the [[Land_use_allocation-Agricultural_systems]] component.

Key policy issues

  • What is the area of cropland and grassland required to support future food demand?
  • What are the policy options to reduce agricultural land use and to safeguard global biodiversity, while ensuring food security?
  • How can the implications of biofuels for land use and greenhouse gases be managed sustainably?

Introduction

"model component" is not in the list (driver component, pressure component, interaction component, state component, impact component, response component) of allowed values for the "FrameworkElementType" property.
