The future of food demand: understanding differences in global economic models
Hugo Valin,Ronald D. Sands,Dominique van der Mensbrugghe,Gerald C. Nelson,Gerald C. Nelson,Helal Ahammad,Elodie Blanc,Benjamin Leon Bodirsky,Shinichiro Fujimori,Tomoko Hasegawa,Petr Havlik,Edwina Heyhoe,Page Kyle,Daniel Mason-D'Croz,Sergey Paltsev,Susanne Rolinski,Andrzej Tabeau,Hans van Meijl,Martin von Lampe,Dirk Willenbockel +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare food demand projections in 2050 for various regions and agricultural products under harmonized scenarios of socioeconomic development, climate change, and bioenergy expansion, and find that the results are more sensitive to socioeconomic assumptions than to climate change or bioenergy scenarios.
