Trends in Global Agricultural Land Use: Implications for Environmental Health and Food Security. (2018, background): “Globally between 2000-2010, it is thought that 80% of deforestation resulted from conversion to agriculture and grazing lands (84).”
Green economy and carbon markets for conservation and development: a critical view (2016, background): “Yet these activities are major drivers of deforestation and wetlands loss (Kissinger et al. 2012).”
Enhancing the sustainability of commodity supply chains in tropical forest and agricultural landscapes (2013, background): “Conflict or coordination between forest and agricultural policy may therefore dramatically enhance or reduce progress toward deforestation goals (Kissinger et al., 2012).”
Fire economy and actor network of forest and land fires in Indonesia (2017, background): “The direct drivers of deforestation differ in each country (Kissinger et al., 2012).”
Agriculture production as a major driver of the Earth system exceeding planetary boundaries (2017, unknown): “Kissinger et al. (2012) and Hosonuma et al. (2012), using FAO data, estimate that agriculture is the driver for around 80% of deforestation worldwide in the period 2000–2010.”
Land use patterns and related carbon losses following deforestation in South America (2015, background): “Statistical analysis and modelling of this information, in turn, can be useful for the assessment of underlying drivers (Kissinger et al 2012) which are complex interactions of social, political, economic, technological and cultural forces (Geist and Lambin 2001).”
A factor of two: how the mitigation plans of ‘climate progressive’ nations fall far short of Paris-compliant pathways (2020, unknown): “See Kissinger, Herold, and De Sy (2012) and Busch and Ferretti-Gallon (2017).”
High mammal species turnover in forest patches immersed in biofuel plantations (2017, background): “Land conversion to agricultural ecosystems accounts for 80% of deforestation globally (Kissinger et al., 2012), and is the leading driver of current rates of global biodiversity loss (Tscharntke et al., 2005; Green et al., 2005), and degradation of ecosystem functioning and services (Turner et al.,…”
