Agricultural Model

  • Represents production, consumption and trade of crops and meat; it also carries ocean fish catch and aquaculture in less detail
  • Maintains land use in crop, grazing, forest, urban, and "other" categories
  • Represents demand for food, for livestock feed, and for industrial use of agricultural products
  • Is a partial equilibrium model in which food stocks buffer imbalances between production and consumption and determine price changes
  • Overrides the agricultural sector in the economic module unless the user chooses otherwise
