Consumption-based (embodied) agricultural-labour footprint using the column-normalised Kastner allocation in embodiedResourceKastner. Non-negative and closes globally to total agricultural employment. Crop/pasture labour is allocated through primary-equivalent trade, livestock labour through direct trade.

Usage

embodiedLabor(
  gdx,
  file = NULL,
  level = "reg",
  type = "all",
  bilateral = FALSE,
  secdToFeed = TRUE,
  reassignLivestock = TRUE
)

Arguments

gdx

GDX file

file

optional file name to write the result with write.magpie

level

regional aggregation level (only "reg" supported)

type

"production", "consumption", "trade", or "all" (default)

bilateral

logical; if TRUE return bilateral (exporter.importer) flows

secdToFeed

logical; if TRUE (default) move the processed-then-fed share (e.g. soybean -> oilcake -> feed) from the secd pathway to the feed pathway, so the Livestock pathway captures all crop products that end up as feed. See embodiedResourceKastner.

reassignLivestock

logical; if TRUE (default) move every livestock product's whole footprint into the feed (Livestock) pathway. See embodiedResourceKastner.

Value

MAgPIE object (region, year, accounting.pathway.product) in million people.
