Land Use: Producing More Food and Storing More Carbon

Caption

Optimal land use as determined by the study. The green dots reflect optimum solutions in terms of food production, CO2 storage capacity, and water availability, plotted as the global totals of the three target values. Every dot contains a map of the global distribution of natural surfaces, cropland, and grassland. The red dot reflects suboptimal production resulting from current land use.
