Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show that not taking into account clearing costs does not allow to describe correctly the cultivated land dynamics when food demand would require to devote to agriculture an increasing fraction of available land. We also show that the validity of the conclusions about the maximal extension of the cultivated land domain derived from a static land allocation model depends crucially of the clearing cost function characteristics.
