Farmland investments in Africa : what's the deal?
Di Corato, Luca; Hess, Sebastian - 2014 - This version: December 12, 2013
Large-scale foreign investments in African farmland are rising and may contribute to agricultural productivity growth and economic development. However, host countries sometimes have to wait longer for the economic benefits to arrive than initially expected. In this respect, the timing of...

Modeling linkages between climate policy and land use : an overview
Van der Werf, Edwin (contributor);  … - 2007
Agriculture and forestry play an important role in emitting and storing greenhouse gases. For an efficient and cost-effective climate policy it is therefore important to explicitly include land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) in economyclimate models. This paper gives an overview and...

Can numerical models estimate indirect land-use change?
Brunelle, Thierry; Dumas, Patrice - 2012
Motivated by the conclusions from various modelling studies, modifications to the bioenergy sector regulations are under way in Europe and in the USA to account for emissions from indirect land-use change (ILUC). Despite their influence on the policy-making, evaluations of the capacity of...
