DESCRIPTION
The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) jointly hosted the International Conference on Climate Change and Food Security (ICCCFS) November 6-8, 2011 in Beijing, China. This conference provided a forum for leading international scientists and young researchers to present their latest research findings, exchange their research ideas, and share their experiences in the field of climate change and food security. The event included technical sessions, poster sessions, and social events. The conference results and recommendations were presented at the global climate talks in Durban, South Africa during an official side event on December 1.TRANSCRIPT

Global scenarios of land cover change
Macro-economic models (GTAP/IMPACT) and land allocation model (IMAGE, LandShift, CLU-Mondo)
Spatial resolution often 50x50 km
One dominant land cover type per pixel
Economic models assume ‘rational’ behaviour
World region economic land demands are downscaled by simple rules: land suitability, distance to existing land cover types
Variation in socio-economic and cultural factors disregarded

Landscapes are mosaics
Composition of landscapes is important (biodiversity, carbon, ecosystem services)
Representation by dominant land cover types is incorrect at all (feasible) spatial resolutions
Mosaics should be represented explicitly

– Temperature, PAR, precipitation, soil fertility constraints
• Determinants for deviation from the frontier yield (=inefficiency effects):
– Irrigation, market accessibility, market influence, agricultural population, slope

Multilevel analysis
Binary logistic model:• Only grid cell level – no multiple levels
Multi-level Model 1: • includes all independent biophysical grid cell variables (slope,
discharge, humidity, evaporation and ET) • Includes country level
Multi-level Model 2: • includes in addition to these variables the socio-economic
grid cell variables (access and population) • includes country level variables (water, government
performance and government type)

Import and land grabbing
Land Grab:Import:
Macro-economic modelling:• Partial equilibrium models• General equilibrium models
Land supply/demand determines land price
Land supply mostly only constrained by agro-ecological suitability

Conclusion
Land cover and land use change are important drivers of food security
Socio-economic and governance variables are important and deserve more attention in global scale assessments
Current studies focus too much attention on biophysical component of climate change
Local patterns of adaptation need to be accounted for in global assessments
Knowledge available in the Land Science community may help analysis of food security and climate change
