European Review of Agricultural Economics, 2017, vol. 44, issue 4, 541-591

Abstract: This paper provides a review of 25 scenario studies and a synthesis of their main responses on how to feed the world up to 2050. The review also points out significant uncertainty regarding the extent to which the different identified levers may help to feed the world sustainably up to 2050. This allows us to emphasise some areas where further work is needed.
