| Content | Via land use, agricultural, environmental and energy policies are linked. For example, biofuels are promoted to save greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector. Yet, if feed and food crops are used, biofuels policies have an impact on food prices or increase agricultural production and therefore interfere with environmental protection. In the lecture, different policies and mechanisms behind the interlinkages are discussed. |
| Learning objectives | Understand and critically discuss the scientific literature, understand mechanisms of repercussions between different sectors and how land use is related. |
| Bibliography | Will be provided in the first lecture. |
