===Baseline developments===
Components of the IMAGE framework that address land use and biodiversity include [[Agricultural economy and forestry|Agricultural economy]] , [[Forest management]], [[Agricultural systems|Land-use allocation]] and [[Livestock|Livestock system]].
===Policy interventions===
As described in the parts above, there is a large range of interventions that could affect land use and reduce biodiversity loss, which are introduced in the respective models in the IMAGE framework (mainly in the agriculture and landuse Components,  see [[Framework overview]] and the Policy intervention Tables in the parts above).
Various studies have made a comprehensive analysis of potential land-use policies, using the IMAGE framework. For instance, the report Rethinking Global Biodiversity Strategies ([[PBL, 2010]]) shows that a combination of the interventions mentioned here may have sufficient potential to reverse the trend of biodiversity loss (see Rethinking Biodiversity Strategies (2010) project]].
Roads from Rio+20 ([[PBL, 2012]]) formulated three packages of interventions to halt biodiversity loss by 2030 (Figure below). The three sustainability scenarios differ fundamentally in approach and indicate that substantial efforts are needed in many areas. In all cases, increases in agricultural productivity are needed (Figure below). See also [[Roads from Rio+20 (2012) project]].

|Description=<h2>Policy interventions result</h2>
There is a large range of interventions that could influence land use and reduce biodiversity loss. Above, all these interventions are listed and their interlinkages are discussed. In addition, these interventions are also introduced in detail in the respective models of the IMAGE framework (for example in [[Agricultural economy and forestry]], [[Forest management]], [[Agricultural systems]], and [[Livestock]]). There are various examples of studies that have made a comprehensive analysis of possible land-use policies, using the IMAGE model framework. The report Rethinking Global Biodiversity Strategies ([[PBL, 2010]]), for instance, shows that none of the policy interventions mentioned in that publication – and most of the interventions mentioned in this section – have sufficient potential to single-handedly reverse the trend of biodiversity loss. In the publication Roads from Rio+20 ([[PBL, 2012]]), three policy packages with a combination of interventions have been formulated to halt biodiversity loss by 2030 (see the figure below). The three sustainability scenarios differ fundamentally in their approach and make it clear that substantial efforts are needed in many areas. Increases in agricultural productivity are needed in all cases, and even at substantial levels, compared to history.
