The project aims to model the land use changes in the rapidly changing and developing regions of China and India and assess the food security impacts due to changing land capacities and human needs. It will also simulate the changes in population dynamics - rural-urban migration. It is proposed to link the different causes and drivers through the model and information analysis using a GIS database and clearing house. Simulations will be done for present, as well as scenarios of socio-economic conditions (SRES) in 2010, 2020 and 2025, using the AGENT-LUC model and related tools. This project shall provide opportunities to researchers and institutions to develop modelling skills, and apply land use simulation and GIS tools to assess regional impacts on food security and environment. The analysis and hands-on experience will facilitate policy development for better resource management.
