DESCRIPTION:With a growing population with changing demands\, competition 
 for the global land resource is increasing. We need to feed a projected po
 pulation of ~12 billion by 2100\, and might also need to deliver land-base
 d greenhouse gas removal for climate change mitigation. Managing these con
 flicts is a major global challenge. I will discuss some of the challenges\
 , synergies\, trade-offs and possible solutions.\n\nProf. Pete Smith (FRS\
 , FRSE\, FRSB) is Professor of Soils and Global Change at the Institute of
  Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Aberdeen and S
 cience Director of the Scottish Climate Change Centre of Expertise (Climat

 hor and Author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate (IPCC).  His int
