Tender: Modeling Environmental Impacts of Displaced UK Agricultural Commodity Production

About

A UK government body is seeking a supplier to develop an initial interim model that estimates where agricultural commodity production would be displaced if a given area of UK land, producing a set quantity of a commodity, was no longer used for commodity production, and to estimate the environmental impacts of that displaced production. The model must be based on clear, transparent assumptions and the calculated environmental impacts should, where possible, map to the Global Environmental Impacts of Consumption (GEIC) indicator; the work builds on existing evidence about in‑situ carbon, biodiversity and other environmental impacts but addresses the current gap in methods for identifying displacement locations and their impacts.
