Experiments in globalisation, food security and land use decision making. by Calum Brown, Dave Murray-Rust, Jasper van Vliet, Shah Jamal Alam, Peter H Verburg, Mark D Rounsevell

“…Both outcomes are subject to the responses of individual land managers to economic and environmental stimuli, and these responses are known to be variable and often (economically) irrational. We investigate the consequences of stylised food security policies and globalisation of agricultural markets on land use patterns under a variety of modelled forms of land manager behaviour, including variation in production levels, tenacity, land use intensity and multi-functionality. …”
