In the attached files (2 page only, published in a little book on deforestation), I tried to present two contrasted visions on the future of agriculture (including livestock) which may be useful to the forthcoming HLPE study and the discussions. I drew on the foresight study "Agrimonde" (scenarios and challenges for feeding the world in 2050) and some other work on structural transformation, employment and labor productivity in agriculture. Visions are part of the drivers and challenges, and they shape our future.
