“Cropland surplus” estimated by considering 10% of the areas occupied by annual field crops in 2050 in the Trend-based and Healthy Diets scenarios with trend-based yield growth.

**

Additional potential production of soybeans and soybean cakes adds to the projected production of soybeans and soybean cakes in the Trend-based and Healthy Diets scenarios in 2050. The latter productions are already accounted for in each scenario’s projected imports.
