Rethinking Agricultural Trade Relationships in an Era of Globalization (2015, background): “Similar applications have also focused on the cropland area required to produce exports (Qiang et al. 2013, Kastner et al. 2014a) and the impact of trade on nutrient cycles resulting from fertilizer use (Schipanski and Bennett 2012, Lassaletta et al. 2014).”
Cropland area embodied in international trade: Contradictory results from different approaches (2014, background): “Two recent studies on cropland linked to China's trade patterns, based on physical bilateral trade data and national crop yields (Meyfroidt et al., 2010; Qiang et al., 2013), concluded that Chinese agricultural tradewas related to a substantial net import of embodied cropland (16–20 Mha/yr).”
Climate Change, Global Food Security, and the U.S. Food System (2015, background): “International trade connects areas of resource surplus and deficit, lowers demand for land resources on a global level (Qiang et al. 2013), and stabilizes food availability and prices, to the benefit of many food producers and consumers (CCGA 2013).”
Measuring telecouplings in the global land system: A review and comparative evaluation of land footprint accounting methods (2015, unknown): “Physical accounting approaches revealed significant net imports of embodied land (Qiang et al., 2013), while MRIO-based calculations show net exports (Weinzettel et al.”
