Significance The livestock sector contributes significantly to global warming through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, is an invaluable source of nutrition and livelihood for millions poor people. Therefore, climate mitigation policies involving must be designed with extreme care. Here we demonstrate large potential inherent in heterogeneity production systems. We find that even within existing systems, autonomous transitions from extensive more productive systems would...
Abstract A new 1 km global IIASA ‐ IFPRI cropland percentage map for the baseline year 2005 has been developed which integrates a number of individual maps at to regional national scales. The products include existing land cover such as GlobCover and MODIS v.5, AFRICOVER from mapping agencies other organizations. different are ranked level using crowdsourced data Geo‐Wiki create that reflects likelihood cropland. Calibration with subnational crop statistics was then undertaken distribute...
Palm oil production has boomed over the last decade, resulting in an expansion of global palm planting area from 10 to 17 Million hectares between 2000 and 2012. Previous studies showed that a significant share this come at expense tropical forests, notably Indonesia Malaysia, current centers. Governments developing emerging countries all regions increasingly promote cultivation as major contributor poverty alleviation, well food energy independence. However, being under pressure several...
Oil palm plantations in Indonesia have been linked to substantial deforestation the 1990s and 2000s, though recent studies suggest that new are increasingly developed on non-forest land. Without nationwide data establish baseline trends, impact of commitments eliminate from oil supply chains could therefore be overestimated. We examine area proportion replacing forests across Sumatra, Kalimantan, Papua up 2015, map biophysically suitable areas for future deforestation-free expansion. created...
Significance Could the intensification of pasture-based cattle ranching allow Brazil to protect its forests and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while increasing agricultural production? Would these benefits be substantially undermined by increased deforestation GHGs triggered abroad? We model two policies for productivity in Brazil: a tax on conventional pasture subsidy semi-intensive pasture. Either policy could considerably mitigate global limiting future Brazil. The GHG would...
Researchers apply an economic model to trade-offs facing the UN’s ambitious Sustainable Development Goals agenda.
Expanding the Soy Moratorium to Cerrado biome would prevent direct conversion of 3.6 million ha intact soy.
In this letter, we investigate the effects of crop yield and livestock feed efficiency scenarios on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture land use change in developing countries. We analyze mitigation associated with different productivity pathways using global partial equilibrium model GLOBIOM. Our results confirm that increase could mitigate some agriculture-related growth over next decades. Closing gaps by 50% for crops 25% 2050 would decrease 8% overall, 12% per calorie...
Agriculture is the single largest source of anthropogenic non-carbon dioxide (non-CO2) emissions. Reaching climate target Paris Agreement will require significant emission reductions across sectors by 2030 and continued efforts thereafter. Here we show that economic potential non-CO2 emissions from agriculture up to four times as high previously estimated. In fact, find could achieve already at a carbon price 25 $/tCO2eq around 1 GtCO2eq/year mainly through adoption technical structural...
The role of improving the enforcement Brazil's Forest Code in reducing deforestation Amazon has been highlighted many studies. However, a context strong political pressure for loosening environmental protections, future impacts nationwide implementation on both environment and agriculture remain poorly understood. Here, we present spatially explicit assessment 2012 through year 2050; specifically, use partial equilibrium economic model that provides globally consistent national modeling...
Climate change might impact crop yields considerably and anticipated transformations of agricultural systems are needed in the coming decades to sustain affordable food provision. However, decision-making on transformational shifts is plagued by uncertainties concerning nature geography climate change, its impacts, adequate responses. Locking into inadequate costly adjust a significant risk this acts as an incentive delay action. It crucial gain insight how much transformation required from...
To leverage agriculture's potential to better benefit both people and nature, policymakers need clear messages about which farming practices positively impact biodiversity yields, when trade-offs arise. Existing reviews analyse effects of different agricultural on either or yield, without considering interactions. Here, we applied multinomial quantile regression models synthesize global evidence synergies between using 764 paired observations (from 43 studies across 18 countries) comparing...
Abstract The expansion of biofuel production can lead to an array negative environmental impacts. Therefore, the European Union ( EU ) has recently imposed sustainability criteria on in Renewable Energy Directive RED ). In this article, we analyse effectiveness for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation. We first use a global agriculture forestry model investigate effects member states National Action Plans NREAPs without criteria. conclude that these targets would drive...
