Productivity Growth and Yields in the Global Crops Sector,ductivity growth. We also discuss one of the key determinants of future productivity growth—namely investment in research and development of new crop varieties and technologies for cultivation. To conclude the chapter, we present a series of simulations to 2050 using the SIMPLE model. These serve to

Economic Responses to Scarcity,ermine total cropland conversion. This analysis demonstrates that purely biophysical analyses of global change significantly overstate the amount of cropland conversion required in the face of growing demand.

Water, Food and Environmental Security,rough increased water use efficiency by the plants themselves. This chapter explores the role of water in agriculture in some detail as well as offering a series of simulation results, based on SIMPLE, to highlight the interplay between restrictions on irrigated agriculture and global land use chang

Climate Change Impacts in Agriculture,t and drought tolerant crop varieties via increased funding for agricultural research. We also show how successful adaptation to climate change can offer significant mitigation benefits, stemming from the fact that improved yields lessen the need for land conversion, which in turn reduces further em
