MAgPIE modelThe MAgPIE land system modeling framework (Version 4.4.0) is an open-source, recursive dynamic global partial equilibrium model30,31 for the agricultural, forestry, and other landuse (AFOLU) sectors. The model minimizes the overall AFOLU costs based on spatially-explicit agricultural productivity values, the demand for agriculturally-based food, feed and material demand, and international trade30,50.
