Agricultural policies can also be introduced in different subcomponents of the IMAGE model. This includes the agricultural economy model (trade policies, yield improvements, subsidies and taxes and dietary preferences) and the land use allocation system (restriction on certain land use types). As a coupled system, IMAGE is able to describe the consequences of measures that are introduced, including key trade-offs and feedbacks, such as for instance the consequences for the nutrient cycle, biodiversity and hunger. Key examples include the evaluation of dietary changes with respect to biodiversity, land-use and greenhouse gas emissions, and the evaluation of more stringent land-use planning on biodiversity conservation and food security | Agricultural policies can also be introduced in different subcomponents of the IMAGE model.
