Conceptual framework

The system is broken down into components, each of which has several variables.

Objective of Agrimonde-Terra

To contribute to SDGs (end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns) by preparing global regionalized scenarios about the futures of land uses and their contribution to food security in 2050 as a tool for discussions between stakeholders. A quantitative platform, Globagri, has been developed to assess the feasibility of the projected trends.

Agrimonde-Terra conceptual framework Method

Hypothesis on evolution of variables Micro-scenario per driver

Generic scenarios for land use built by combining micro-scenarios per driver

1st option: Building regionalized global scenarios

2nd option: Building

national/regional scenarios

Interactions of climate with other drivers

Economic development

Energy mix

Climate

Land uses

Governance and economic development micro scenarios

Conventional global development led by market

forces

Sustainable and cooperative world

Economic and political fragmentation

Regionalization and energetic transition

Climate micro scenarios RCP 8.5 RCP 2.6. RCP 4.5 RCP 4.5

Increases in temperatures

+ 2°C in 2050, +4°C in 2100 + 1°C in 2050, +2°C in 2100 + 1.4°C in 2050, +1.8°C in 2100 + 1.4°C in 2050, +1.8°C in 2100

Precipitations (global average) and climatic events

+0,15 mm/day in 2100. Increase in extreme events.

Limited changes (+0,05 mm /day in 2100)

+0,09 mm/day in 2100 +0,09 mm/day in 2100

Policies Maybe starting after 2050. Effective starting in 2020 No specific policies Regional policies starting around 2030

Influence of biogeo-chemical cycles on crops yields and

proteins content

Negative impact of CO2 on crops’ yields and positive impact of O3 on proteins contents.

Neutral effect Neutral effect Neutral effect

Adaptive capacities of societies

Low adaptive capacities: High inter- and intra-regional inequalities; Lack of coordination.

High adaptive capacities: Low inter- and intra-regional inequalities; Strong coordination among actors.

Some adaptive capacities in some places and no adaptive capacities in other places. Decrease of productive means ; High inter- and intra-regional inequalities; Institutional instability.

High adaptive capacities: Low intra-regional inequalities; voluntary restraint in consumption increase ; flexibility of local development pathways.

Impact on yields Decreases in yields : wheat : -13% between 2010 and 2050; Maize : –14%; Rice –16%; Soybean –30%. Increased inter-annual variability in crop yields

No major change on yields and farmland at the global scale

Moderate yield loss at the global scale between 2001–2050 : wheat : -6%; Maize : -7%; Rice: -8%, soybean : -15%

Moderate yield loss at the global scale between 2001–2050 : wheat : -6%; Maize : -7%; Rice: -8%, soybean : -15%

Energy mix micro scenarios High rate of coal consumption. Non conventional oil and coal used for liquid fuels.

Massive development of lignocellulose bioenergy. Development of wind offshore and solar energy.

Decrease of energy demand due to crisis. Local reforestation. Use of biomass from forests. Ecosystems services produced locally by farms.

Voluntary efforts to control energy demand. Reforestation. Improvement of electrical networks. Decentralization of energy production.

Direct drivers micro-scenarios Prepared but not mentioned here

Land use scenarios Land uses driven by large metropolitan and distant

regions who buy where climate allows production

Land uses driven by high attention given to healthy nutrition and mitigation of

climate change

Dualism: some land uses driven by local rural communities caring for

sustainability, and land degradation and collapse in other

local areas.

Land uses driven by regional food systems and allowing for

diverse diets

Land uses driven by household strategies

(mobility, multiactivity)

Scenarios for the futures : The scenarios are designed to describe a large spectrum of plausible evolutions in the world. They are

the results of an analysis of interactions and links of causality between drivers. Their construction and designation is still under process.

CFCC15 – Our common future under climate change – 9 July 2015 - P-2236-05

Agriculture, which produced, consumed and transformed energy and was autonomous, has become heteronomous. It depends on fossil energy), and thus contributes to climate change. Agriculture is also asked to biomass for energy, in particular to lower the cost of climate change mitigation policies.
