14. January 12th 2012 | Ton Manders Global Land use and Food in a Finite World 14 The case of bioenergy  Important role in mitigation –However indirect emissions (fertilizer, transport, production)  Compete with other land use –Food prices –Biodiversity loss 1.Second generation bioenergy 2.Sustainability criteria 3.High yield versus extensive production 4.Cascading

15. January 12th 2012 | Ton Manders Global Land use and Food in a Finite World 15 Competing goals  Agriculture drives land use change  Land use change drives biodiversity loss

16. January 12th 2012 | Ton Manders Global Land use and Food in a Finite World 16 Effects and points of intervention

17. January 12th 2012 | Ton Manders Global Land use and Food in a Finite World 17 Effficiency forms a key factor in preserving biodiversity, while providing sufficient food for all  In order to provide sufficient food for all, more agricultural production is needed and  to meet the biodiversity goal, no further expansion of agricultural area allowed.  Four major issues –reduction of consumption –global management of land –growth of agricultural yields –the right price of food

January 12th 2012 | Ton Manders Global Land use and Food in a Finite World 21 28 November 2011 EU Resource Efficiency Perspectives in a Global Context 21  Loss of MSA reduced by enhanced RE; but not stopped # ; #  Additonal losses (until 2050!) in some regions due to bio-energy for climate mitigation

22. January 12th 2012 | Ton Manders Global Land use and Food in a Finite World 22 Smart policies - general  No easy solutions –Age old problem of the commons –Major barriers  Not one size fits all –e.g. high yield versus extensive  Beware of trade-offs and look for synergy –e.g. bioenergy  Resource efficiency can bring you a long way but more is needed –Yield (water, fertilizer, management, seeds)  Reduce and reuse waste  Lifestyle changes have a huge potential

23. January 12th 2012 | Ton Manders Global Land use and Food in a Finite World 23 Major barriers to attain goals Food security  Lack of safety nets and redistributive policies  Economic growth performances in main food insecure regions  Appropriate entitlements of domestic farmers to access land and water Agricultural production  Perverse subsidies  Lack of knowledge Terrestrial biodiversity  Indirect drivers difficult to influence  Limited knowledge  Limited awareness  Ineffective management of protected areas

24.
