	In the COFFEE model, a non- “spatial explicit” model was developed into the MESSAGE framework, with the object of optimizing land use in order to meet demand for food and bioenergy products.

In the COFFEE model, a non- “spatial explicit” model was developed into the MESSAGE framework, with the object of optimizing land use in order to meet demand for food and bioenergy products. In order to create the land categories, or zones, several aspects were considered, such as land cover, yields, soil productivity and estimates for production costs.

	The land cover categories considered in the COFFEE model were defined based on ~~UNEP (2015)~~, which consist of spatial resolution of 300 m x 300 m land use information, split in the following types: cropland, crop-veg, forest, for-grass, grassland, flooded and not suited, which include regions that cannot be changed such as urban, desert and permanent ice regions.

	The soil productivity was addressed by the Productivity Index (PI), an ordinal measure of the productivity of a soil. The PI uses family-level Soil Taxonomy information~~, (SCHAETZL et al., 2012)~~. The reason this index was used as a proxy for relative productivity is that it relies in very few additional information. However, the simplicity is exactly what creates the limitations of this analysis, since it disregards other aspects, such as water availability and climatic conditions which limit crop production.

	To better estimate the production cost of agricultural products the transportation cost of agricultural goods was incorporated in the evaluation. In this model the travel time was used as a proxy for distance, which, in turn, was used as a proxy for transportation costs.		To better estimate the production cost of agricultural products the transportation cost of agricultural goods was incorporated in the evaluation. In this model the travel time was used as a proxy for distance, which, in turn, was used as a proxy for transportation costs.

	Thence all these three land aspects, land-use, soil productivity and travel time, were aggregated based on production costs and the categories which could be related to production costs: soil productivity, which accounts for relative production costs at the field, and travel time, which accounts for relative costs of transportation.		Thence all these three land aspects, land-use, soil productivity and travel time, were aggregated based on production costs and the categories which could be related to production costs: soil productivity, which accounts for relative production costs at the field, and travel time, which accounts for relative costs of transportation. So, by combining all categories of Soil Productivity and Travel Time, a matrix of relative costs for 56 cells was designed and then the cells were aggregated in 7 new cost categories. Finally, for every one of the 18 regions a two-factor land system was created, considering 7 land cover types and 7 combined cost categories. However the category with highest cost was not considered viable for agriculture.

	Land use change basically involves the change from one land cover into another through human interference. These changes might create a net emission/removal of carbon due to variation of the carbon stock, both underground and above the ground.
