| Abstract: | Fertile land and fresh water constitute two of
the most fundamental resources for food production.
These resources are affected by environmental, political,
economic, and technical developments. Regional impacts
may transmit to the world through increased trade.
With a global forest and agricultural sector model, we
quantify the impacts of increased demand for food due
to population growth and economic development on
potential land and water use. In particular, we
investigate producer adaptation regarding crop and
irrigation choice, agricultural market adjustments, and
changes in the values of land and water. |
