Environment
The fast growth of food consumption in China, meat in particular, triggers demand for feed grains which requires additional irrigation and leads to increased emission of pollutants, both depending on the climate change foreseen. The component will consider:
- Water shortages
- Emissions
- Climate change
- Non-point pollution, or the impact of agricultural supply, demand and trade changes on the propensity of farmers to use more/less farm chemicals and their impact on water and soil quality.
- Policies to reduce water shortages and emissions under foreseen climate change.
