Evaluation of the land demands for the production of food, feed and energy in LUISA Methodological framework and preliminary results for the Reference Scenario in the LUISA platform

The main purpose of this document is twofold. On the one hand, the land demands, methods and preliminary findings, especially in terms of forest and agricultural land, for the production of food, feed and energy are fully described. The modelling exercise is developed for the Updated Reference Configuration 2014 of the LUISA (Land Use Integrated Sustainability Assessment) modelling platform for the period 2010-2050. On the other hand, a brief description of how LUISA is configured in order to be consistent with macro-economic models within the integrated modelling chain, including the incorporation of the legally binding objectives, directives and regulations is also included in this document.
