Conclusions Low mitigation targets, low marginal mitigation costs, more extensive agriculture, water and soil quality benefits Low mitigation targets, low marginal mitigation costs, more extensive agriculture, water and soil quality benefits High mitigation targets, high marginal cost, more intensive agriculture, more pressure on food and biodiversity High mitigation targets, high marginal cost, more intensive agriculture, more pressure on food and biodiversity Simultaneous biodiversity policies increase agricultural mitigation cost Simultaneous biodiversity policies increase agricultural mitigation cost Integrated analysis important (climate, soil, water, biodiversity, fuel, food) to prevent today’s solution becoming the problem of tomorrow Integrated analysis important (climate, soil, water, biodiversity, fuel, food) to prevent today’s solution becoming the problem of tomorrow
