Changes in agricultural land use affects nutrient leaching to water bodies. +
Dietary changes reduces the amount of the ES "food" needed.
When the reduced agricultural land use, results in an increase of natural area, the supply of the services dependent nature (e.g. erosion and flood protection, pollination and pest control), will be increased. +
Changes in production of agricultural commodities within a region change the land use for agricultural purposes (both total area for agriculture and the ratio of grass to crop area). +
Changes the production of livestock products within a region. +
Dietary changes, for example assumes that by 2050 10% of the baseline scenario’s beef consumption is replaced by poultry meat in all producing regions, without accounting for changes in agricultural trade +
This intervention reduces the pressure from agricultural land use to terrestrial biodiversity. +
Effect of this bunch of interventions is a change in the relation between the use of external inputs (capital), land and labour. For livestock systems the intervention can result in the use of more feed instead of grazing. For cropping systems it could, for example, express the use of more fertilizer to increase yields (closing the yield gap). +
On one hand the increase of productivity increases nutrient leaching to water bodies, on the other hand a smaller agricultural area is needed, reducing the pressures from agriculture. +
Increase intensity of the agricultural area, reduces nature on agricultural area thereby negatively influencing the ES dependent of nature (e.g. flood and erosion protection, pest control and pollination). While systems like organic farming contain more nature on agricultural areas and thereby positively influencing ES. +
intervention may be increased fertilizer use, or fertilizer use efficiency ... +
Impacts terrestrial biodiversity in two ways: 1) a smaller agricultural area decrease habitat loss and 2) it increase intensity of the agricultural area and consequently the biodiversity value of those areas. +
Increasing the productivity of crops by converting rainfed to irrigated agriculture will have an effect on the irrigation water demand in the region. Extracting more water for irrigation will have an effect on downstream water availability and can increase water stress in the region. +
changes the grass and feed crop demand for the required livestock production. +
More adaptation increases adaptation costs, but reduces the damage resulting from climate change. +
Higher yields reduce the need for agricultural land and usually lower the price of food commodities. +
missing description +
Increases food security, thereby reducing child underweight. This in turn reduces child mortality as lower levels of child underweight result in a lower incidence of diarrhoea and pneumonia and a lower case fatality of malaria, diarrhoea, pneumonia and protein energy deficiency +
Decreases the pressure on land for agriculture. On the other hand it can increase the pressure from emissions towards natural areas. +
E
The burden-sharing regime affects regional mitigation costs, as different burden-sharing rules lead to different emission reduction targets. +
Different rules for trading emission credits lead to different regional mitigation costs. Without any restrictions on emission trading, emission reductions take place wherever it is cheapest to do so and the differences between regional targets and actual domestic emissions is traded among regions. +
