(ii) Agribusiness scenario (Agbus). This scenario examines the effects of agricultural
intensification practices, specifically related to livestock production and greenhouse
production. It is assumed that agricultural development is driven by large farms and
an increased demand for animal products such as milk and meat. Greenhouse
production continues at an accelerated pace. There is less focus on development in
food crops. Yields are expected to reach the potential levels determined by current
technology.
(iii) Protectionist scenario (Prot). This scenario assumes low-intensity agricultural
development oriented towards protection of the environment. It assumes that ill
effects of current intensification on environment will be recognized and there would
be a move to maintain current livestock densities.
(iv) Vege-business scenario (Vege). This scenario assumes major shift towards vegetarian
diets and an emphasis on greenhouse vegetable production.
