2025-07-09T09:09:39Z urn:hdl:10324/76300 Analysis of the competition between land, energy and food using the TERRA module of WILIAM System Dynamics IAM Mediavilla Pascual, Margarita Lifi -, Mohamed Ferreras Alonso, Noelia Miguel González, Luis Javier Blas Sanz, Ignacio De Producción Científica Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) are computational tools used to explore energy futures and sustainable transitions. This paper presents the WILIAM-TERRA model, a novel platform for analyzing the interactions be- tween land, food, energy and the environment. WILIAM-TERRA is integrated in the Within Limits Integrated Assessment Model (WILIAM), a new open-source model that has been designed to address several limitations of existing IAMs. WILIAM-TERRA explores the energy transitions, both from the point of view of the sinks (climate change) and from the point of view of the resources (biofuels, forests and solar electricity). Additionally, is focuses on the ecological transition of the food system including dietary changes, sustainable agriculture and regional food exchanges. These features provide a broader scope than the traditional emissions-based approach of most IAMs, enabling a more systemic analysis. Some results of the interaction of diet policies with forest and cropland expansion, of the effect of wood extraction in forests integrity and of the carbon capture in grasslands have been presented. These results represent only a small sample of what can be analysed with WILIAM-TERRA and should be further explored in the future. 2025-07-09T09:09:39Z 2025-07-09T09:09:39Z 2025 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2025, vol. 216, p. 115651 1364-0321 https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/76300 10.1016/j.rser.2025.115651 115651 Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 216 eng https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032125003247 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ © 2025 The Author(s) Atribución-NoComercial 4.0 Internacional Elsevier
