IMPACT-WATER

Partial equilibrium agricultural sector model with water simulation module

Simulates food production and water based on economic, demographic, and technological change

Food supply and demand, water supply and demand, Food price and trade, number of malnourished children

Investment in AKST, Trade liberalization, Organic/change in meat demand

SLAM

Simulated Livestock Allocation Model

Simulates the allocation of land to ruminant livestock based systems using livestock numbers

Areas and density of grazing ruminants

IMAGE

Integrated Assessment model

Simulates energy supply and demand, translates energy outcomes and food outcomes from IMPACT into environmental consequences (land use change, climate change, emissions)

Energy demand and mix, greenhouse gas emissions, land use change, temperature and precipitation change, C and N fluxes

Climate change, Bioenergy

GTEM

CGE model

Simulates the working of the global economy

Trade liberalization

WATERSIM

Partial equilibrium agricultural sector model with water simulation module

Food supply and demand, water supply and demand, Food price and trade

Water productivity

GLOBIO3

Dose-response biodiversity model

Translates environmental pressures mainly from IMAGE into indicators of biodiversity

Mean Species Abundance Index

Bioenergy

ECO-OCEAN

Marine biomass balance model

Simulates world marine capture fisheries based on the 19 FAO fishing areas

Catch, Value, Diversity, and Marine Trophic Index

GEN-CGE

CGE model for India

Multisectoral general equilibrium model for India with gender disaggregated data

Food and nonfood supply and demand at country level, employment by worker types distinguished by gender, wages of female and male workers and income by households

Trade liberalization

CAPSiM

CAPSiM

Partial equilibrium agricultural sector model for China

Simulates food production, consumption, and farmers' income based on major driving forces of demand and supply
