Reduces child mortality by lowering the incidence of diarrhoea and pneumonia +
If irrigated area is not expanded, improving the irrigation efficiency on a large scale will decrease irrigation water withdrawals for irrigation. This means that water availability downstream will increase and water stress will get lower. +
This means that the animal manure that is used for spreading contains 5% more N than under the baseline scenario. +
Improved rainwater management will lead to more efficient use of rainwater over the year and therefore a better fullfillment of crop water requirements. Further it will lead to more efficient use of the soil moisture because of a decrease in evaporative losses from bare soil. Both measures lead to increased yields of rainfed agriculture. +
decreases the demand for grass. +
The increased use of concentrates effects the height of N and P excretion for cattle, pigs, poultry and small ruminants in mixed and industrial systems. In this example a 10% lower N and P excretion has been assumed. +
Efficiency improvements result in less energy input at an equal energy output of conversion technologies. This results in a lower need for conversion capacity. +
More efficient use of final energy, change in end use technologies, which leads to lower energy demand. +
Efficiency improvements result in a decreased energy demand, resulting in less need for energy supply. +
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 +
Reduces child mortality by lowering the incidence of diarrhoea +
This intervention changes the regional C pools and fluxes. It limits the exploitation of (natural) forests and preserves the C budgets within these forests. In the plantations the C pools might become reduced. +
Decreases the area impacted by forestry/logging +
Terrestrial biodiversity is effected in two ways: 1) the area with forestry impacts will be smaller, and 2) the biodiversity value of plantations will be lower than (semi-)natural forests in which logging takes place. +
Increasing carbon storage will increase the supply of the ES "carbon sequestration" and "erosion prevention" +
A change in feed crop and grass requirements results in changes in land use, e.g. grasslands and cropping areas. +
Change the amount of feed crops and grass needed to feed animals. +
Increasing the storage capacity of reservoirs will lead to a reduction in streamflow variability and an increase in the amount of water stored in the river system. In basins that have a very variable flow regime, a storage reservoir can increase the water availability for irrigation during dry periods. +
This change causes more nutrients to be available for recycling in agriculture, and take nutrients in the manure into account when determining of the nutrient application rates +
An intensification of livestock systems decreases the average area needed per animal (in land using livestock systems) +
