    The crop and livestock model focuses on habitable lands usage, which usage is shared between food production and energy linked technologies feeding.

    In addition, an agriculture model aims to answer to the following question: Given a food diet for humanity, how much space do we need to to feed everyone ? This model allows to test different food diets, and computes the agriculture surface needed to produce enough food to feed all human beings.
