Fig. 3: Projected net effects of the GWC scenario with alternative policy scenarios on food prices, compared with the No GWC baseline, 2050 (%).
From: Ending groundwater overdraft without affecting food security

These interventions are simulated in combination with the GWC scenario. The scenarios are simulated under climate change, averaging results from three climate change scenarios: GFDL, HadGEM and IPSL with RCP 8.5. R&D, investments in agricultural research and development; ERM, more effective rainfall management; RMC, reduced consumption of meat products in HICs. Calculated using IMPACT food–water simulations.
