Ambitious food system interventions required to mitigate the risk of exceeding Earth’s environmental limits
Michalis Hadjikakou, Nicholas Bowles et al.PREPRINT2023
Transforming the global food system is essential to avoid exceeding Earth’s environmental limits. A robust evidence base is crucial to assess the scale and combination of interventions required for a sustainable transformation. We developed a risk assessment framework, underpinned by an evidence synthesis of global food system modeling studies, to quantify the potential of individual and combined interventions to mitigate the risk of exceeding gl…

Changes in energy and livestock systems largely explain the forest transition in Austria (1830–1910)
Open AccessGingrich, Christian Lauk et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2021Cited by: 1References: 72
Achieving a global forest transition, that is a shift from deforestation to reforestation, is important for climate-change mitigation. Forest transitions are enabled by socioecological processes, including land displacement, agricultural intensification and woodfuel substitution for other energy, but their respective contributions remain poorly understood. Here, by means of a scenario approach we quantify the importance of enabling conditions of …
The Material Stock–Flow–Service Nexus: A New Approach for Tackling the Decoupling Conundrum
Open AccessH Haberl, Dominik Wiedenhofer et al.ARTICLESustainability2017
Fundamental changes in the societal use of biophysical resources are required for a sustainability transformation. Current socioeconomic metabolism research traces flows of energy, materials or substances to capture resource use: input of raw materials or energy, their fate in production and consumption, and the discharge of wastes and emissions. This approach has yielded important insights into eco-efficiency and long-term drivers of resource us…

A conceptual framework for analysing and measuring land-use intensity
Open AccessKarlheinz Erb, Karl-Heinz Erb et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2013
Large knowledge gaps currently exist that limit our ability to understand and characterise dynamics and patterns of land-use intensity: in particular, a comprehensive conceptual framework and a system of measurement are lacking. This situation hampers the development of a sound understanding of the mechanisms, determinants, and constraints underlying changes in land-use intensity. On the basis of a review of approaches for studying land-use inten…
Land system change and food security: Towards multi-scale land system solutions
Open AccessPeter H Verburg, Ole Mertz et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2013
Land system changes are central to the food security challenge. Land system science can contribute to sustainable solutions by an integrated analysis of land availability and the assessment of the tradeoffs associated with agricultural expansion and land use intensification. A land system perspective requires local studies of production systems to be contextualised in a regional and global context, while global assessments should be confronted wi…
Global socioeconomic carbon stocks in long-lived products 1900–2008
Open AccessChristian Lauk, H Haberl et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2012
A better understanding of the global carbon cycle as well as of climate change mitigation options such as carbon sequestration requires the quantification of natural and socioeconomic stocks and flows of carbon. A so-far under-researched aspect of the global carbon budget is the accumulation of carbon in long-lived products such as buildings and furniture. We present a comprehensive assessment of global socioeconomic carbon stocks and the corresp…
