      abstract = {The sugar industry in Queensland (Australia) is confronted  with increasing economic pressure and environmental  constraints. To explore whether agri-industrial  diversification of the sugar industry provides a  sustainable development pathway for the region, we develop  a spatial environmental-economic approach that integrates a  land use and value chain model with a hydrological model.  Results indicate that agri-industrial diversification can  lead to substantial increases in regional income, while at  the same time increasing the resilience of a sugar industry  facing decreasing sugar prices. Agri-industrial  diversification drives land use diversification, which  under current sugar prices does not lead to a reduction in  sugarcane production. Water quality benefits from this land  use diversification are mixed, and depend on the economic  viability and erosion characteristics of the concerned  production systems.},
