Assessing global agri-food system exceedance of national cropland limits

Ecological Economics: Using a multi-regional input-output model and cropland limits of agri-food consumption and production, we identified specific countries and commodity supply chains that contribute to the exceedance of production-based cropland limits of producer countries (both domestic and via trade).
