The realization anthropometrics_jan18 uses per capita income and the demography of the world population (including sex and age classes at the country level, which are provided from module 09_drivers) as drivers. The module estimates food demand on iso-country level taking anthropometric food requirements as well as economic dynamics into account. If flexible demand is activated, the module also uses the shadow prices for agircultural products from the optimization, which are the Lagrange multipliers of the constraint q15_food_demand. The module consists of a standalone food demand model, which is executed before MAgPIE starts. In the case of endogenous demand, the module is iterated with MAgPIE. Besides providing the fooduse of agricultural products, the model also provides a number of output indicators, including the BMI distribution, body weight and height of the population by age and sex, food intake by age group and sex, food waste, dietary composition between livestock products, empty calories (sugar, oil and alcohol), fruits vegetables and nuts, as well as staple calories. The food demand model can be run in standalone mode by running the the file standalone/demand_model.gms. The model is described in (Bodirsky et al., n.d.)
The food demand model consists of the following equations, which are not part of MAgPIE.

\[\begin{multline*} \left(vm\_dem\_food(i2,kfo) + \sum_{ct} f15\_household\_balanceflow(ct,i2,kfo,"dm")\right) \cdot \sum_{ct}\left(f15\_nutrition\_attributes(ct,kfo,"kcal") \cdot 10^{6}\right) \geq \sum_{ct}\left(im\_pop(ct,i2) \cdot p15\_kcal\_pc\_calibrated(ct,i2,kfo)\right) \cdot 365 \end{multline*}\]
Above constraint transforms the fooduse of agricultural products into per capita food demand. vm_dem_food is the fooduse of agricultural products. It is measured in tons of dry matter prior to processing. The multiplication with the nutrition attributes provides the equivalent in calories. While nutrition attributes are assumed to be globally the same (assumption of homogeneous products), a regional balance flow is used to account for current differences in food processing, where some regions get different calories from the same fooduse quantitiy. Depending on the input data, the balance flow may fade out in the future, which implies actual homogeneous products. The subsequent equations belong to the standalone food demand model, which is executed before MAgPIE or iterated with MAgPIE. They are excluded from the run of MAgPIE itself.
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_objective = \sum_{iso}\left( - 10^{6} \cdot v15\_income\_balance(iso)\right) \end{multline*}\]
In principle, the food demand model has only one solution that satifies all equations. Technically, the objective could therefore be chosen arbirtrarily, for the solver to find the single solution. However, if the model is executed outside its domain (e.g. with extreme price shocks), it can happen that real income takes a negative value (because the increase in food value exceeds the available income). To avoid this case, a punishment term v15_income_balance is introduced. It increases the real income, but affects the maximized objective variable negatively, disincentivizing its use in cases where it is not needed.
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_income\_pc\_real\_ppp\_iso(iso) = \sum_{ct,kfo}\left( v15\_kcal\_regr(iso,kfo) \cdot 365 \cdot \left(i15\_prices\_initial\_kcal(iso,kfo)-p15\_prices\_kcal(ct,iso,kfo)\right)\right) + \sum_{ct}im\_gdp\_pc\_ppp\_iso(ct,iso) + v15\_income\_balance(iso) \end{multline*}\]
The budget constraint calculates the real income after a possible price shock. The basic assumption is that increasing prices reduce real income, while decreasing prices increase real income. Through this income effect, higher prices reduce the food demand. The income before the food price shock is im_gdp_pc_ppp. It is reduced by the change in value of the demanded calories under changed prices. In the following, the real income is used to determine food intake, food demand as well as dietary composition. The BMI distribution within the population is calculated using regressions in a hierachical tree to estimate the share of the population falling into a certain BMI class. 
First, the regression shares are calculated:
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,bmi\_tree15) = i15\_bmi\_intercept(sex,agegroup15,bmi\_tree15) +\frac{ \left(i15\_bmi\_saturation(sex,agegroup15,bmi\_tree15) \cdot v15\_income\_pc\_real\_ppp\_iso(iso)\right) }{ \left(i15\_bmi\_halfsat(sex,agegroup15,bmi\_tree15) + v15\_income\_pc\_real\_ppp\_iso(iso)\right)} \end{multline*}\]
Then, these regression shares are applied to parameterize the hierarchical tree structure:
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_bmi\_shr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"verylow") = v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"low") \cdot v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"lowsplit") \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_bmi\_shr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"low") = v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"low") \cdot \left(1- v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"lowsplit")\right) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_bmi\_shr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"medium") = \left(1-v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"low") -v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"high")\right) \cdot \left(1-v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"mediumsplit")\right) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_bmi\_shr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"mediumhigh") = \left(1-v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"low") -v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"high")\right) \cdot v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"mediumsplit") \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_bmi\_shr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"high") = v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"high") \cdot \left(1-v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"highsplit")\right) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_bmi\_shr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"veryhigh") = v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"high") \cdot v15\_regr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,"highsplit") \end{multline*}\]
From BMI shares of the larger groups (overgroups), we disaggregate to age-specific subgroups.
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_bmi\_shr\_regr(iso,sex,age,bmi\_group15) = \sum_{agegroup2age(agegroup15,age)}\left( v15\_bmi\_shr\_overgroups(iso,sex,agegroup15,bmi\_group15) \right) \end{multline*}\]
Food intake is estimated based on BMI distribution, typical intakes for BMI groups, demographic structure and extra energy requirements for pregnancy and lactation (estimated based on the new-born population size).
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_kcal\_intake\_total\_regr(iso) \cdot \sum_{sex,age,ct} im\_demography(ct,iso,sex,age) = \sum_{ct, sex, age, bmi\_group15}\left( v15\_bmi\_shr\_regr(iso,sex,age,bmi\_group15) \cdot im\_demography(ct,iso,sex,age) \cdot p15\_intake(ct,iso,sex,age,bmi\_group15) \right) + \sum_{ct}i15\_kcal\_pregnancy(ct,iso) \end{multline*}\]
Food demand is based on food intake and a regression based on income, which estimates how much the actual demand is relative to the required intake. The difference between demand and intake is food waste (not explicitly mentioned in this equation)
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_kcal\_regr\_total(iso) = v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, "overconsumption"\right) \cdot v15\_kcal\_intake\_total\_regr(iso) \end{multline*}\]
This equation estimates key dietary composition regressision factors, such as the share of animal products, empty calories, or fruits, vegetables and nuts.
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, regr15\right) = i15\_dem\_intercept(regr15) +\frac{ \left(i15\_dem\_saturation(regr15) \cdot v15\_income\_pc\_real\_ppp\_iso(iso)\right) }{ \left(i15\_dem\_halfsat(regr15) + v15\_income\_pc\_real\_ppp\_iso(iso)^{i15\_dem\_nonsat(regr15)}\right)} \end{multline*}\]
In the subsequent equations, those parameters are used to determine the dietary composition using a hierachical tree: Total calories are first divided into animal- and plant-based. The plant-based calories are further divided into processed empty calories and nutritious calories, and so on.
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_kcal\_regr(iso,kfo\_ap) = v15\_kcal\_regr\_total(iso) \cdot v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, "livestockshare"\right) \cdot \sum_{ct}i15\_livestock\_kcal\_structure\_iso(ct,iso,kfo\_ap) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_kcal\_regr(iso,kfo\_pf) = v15\_kcal\_regr\_total(iso) \cdot \left(1 - v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, "livestockshare"\right)\right) \cdot v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, "processedshare"\right) \cdot \sum_{ct}i15\_processed\_kcal\_structure\_iso(ct,iso,kfo\_pf) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_kcal\_regr(iso,"others") = v15\_kcal\_regr\_total(iso) \cdot \left(1 - v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, "livestockshare"\right)\right) \cdot \left(1 - v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, "processedshare"\right)\right) \cdot v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, "vegfruitshare"\right) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v15\_kcal\_regr(iso,kfo\_st) = v15\_kcal\_regr\_total(iso) \cdot \left(1 - v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, "livestockshare"\right)\right) \cdot \left(1 - v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, "processedshare"\right)\right) \cdot \left(1 - v15\_demand\_regr\left(iso, "vegfruitshare"\right)\right) \cdot \sum_{ct}i15\_staples\_kcal\_structure\_iso(ct,iso,kfo\_st) \end{multline*}\]
Within the major food groups determined by the regressions (animal calories, empty calories, fruits, vegetable and nut calories as well as staple calories), the relative share of individual products (e.g. eggs within animal calories) is assumed to be constant. An exception is the demand for ruminant meat, which declines in the course of the century at the cost of chicken meat.
The calculations are executed in the following order:
In the beginning of each time step, the body height is estimated based on the diets of the previous 15 years. In case that the time step length exceeds 5 years, the consumption is extrapolated using the last two time steps. Body height is estimated using the consumption of proteins and fats, in our case the foodgroups animal products, pulses and oils. To estimate the body size of underaged (0-14 years), we scale the WHO body height recommendations for underaged with the divergence of the 15-19 year old. The body height estimates are repeated again at the end of the time step to improve the results of the extrapolation for cases where the time step length exceeds 5 years.
p15_bodyweight(t,iso,sex,age,bmi_group15)= f15_bmi(sex,age,bmi_group15) * (p15_bodyheight(t,iso,sex,age,"preliminary")/100)**2;Physical activity levels (PAL) relative to the basic metabolic rate (BMR) are estimated based on physical inactivity levels, assuming PALs for sedentary and medium-active populations of 1.53 and 1.76 respectively:
p15_physical_activity_level(t,iso,sex,age)=
im_physical_inactivity(t,iso,sex,age) * 1.53
+(1-im_physical_inactivity(t,iso,sex,age)) * 1.76
;
p15_intake(t,iso,sex,age,bmi_group15)=
(f15_schofield(sex,age, "intercept")
+ f15_schofield(sex,age, "slope")*p15_bodyweight(t,iso,sex,age,bmi_group15))
* p15_physical_activity_level(t,iso,sex,age);Pregnancy and lactation require additional food intake. To account for this, newborns are distributed among reproductive women in a population. This number is then multiplied with the extra energy requirements:
i15_kcal_pregnancy(t,iso)=sum(sex,im_demography(t,iso,sex,"0--4")/5) * ((40/66)*845 + (26/66)*675);Before MAgPIE is executed, the food demand model is executed, at first without price shocks.
Per capita food demand and BMI shares are calibrated so that historical data are met. For this purpose, the residual between the regression fit and the observation is calculated for the historical period. When the historical period ends, the calibration factor is fixed at the value of the last historical time step. Additionally, a second calibration is required to meet the world totals of FAOSTAT food demand for different foods. While the food demand model estimates the demand for all countries of the world, FAOSTAT only covers a subset of countries. To match FAOSTAT totals, the food demand of countries not included in FAOSTAT is calibrated to zero. As this calibration is done ex-post, food demand estimates can still be used for all countries, but MAgPIE only considers demand from FAOSTAT countries.

);The calibration factor is added to the regression value.
p15_kcal_pc_iso(t,iso,kfo) =
v15_kcal_regr.l(iso,kfo) + p15_kcal_calib(t,iso,kfo) * s15_calibrate;Negative values that can possibly occur due to calibration are set to zero.
p15_kcal_pc_iso(t,iso,kfo)$(p15_kcal_pc_iso(t,iso,kfo)<0) = 0;The country-level parameter p15_kcal_pc_iso is aggregated to the regional level. After removing estimates from countries that are not included in FAOSTAT, the resulting parameter p15_kcal_pc_calibrated is provided to constraint q15_food_demand in the MAgPIE model, which defines the demand for food.
Now, MAgPIE is executed.
After one time step of MAgPIE is executed, the shadow prices of the food demand constraint are fed back into the food demand module, and the food demand module is executed once again.
If s15_elastic_demand is 0, MAgPIE is not executed again for this time step. In case that s15_elastic_demand is 1, it is checked whether MAgPIE and the food demand model have reached sufficient convergence. The criterion for this is whether the real income in the food demand model has changed in any region by more than s15_convergences_measure relative to the last iteration due to changes in food prices from MAgPIE. Moreover, the model aborts when the number of iterations reaches s15_maxiter. As long as the iteration continues, the food prices are transferred from MAgPIE to the food demand model, and the food demand is transferred from the food demand model to MAgPIE.
The calibration parameter is added to the regression value. The BMI shares are not allowed to exceed the bounds 0 and 1. Values are corrected to the bounds. The mismatch is balanced by moving the exceeding quantities into the middle BMI group. We recalculate the intake with the new values.
After each execution of the food demand model, the body height distribution of the population is estimated. The starting point is the body height distribution of the last timestep. The body height estimates of the old period are moved into the subsequent age class (e.g. the 20-24 year old are now 25-29 years old). The age class of 15-19 year old is estimated newly using the body height regressions and the food consumption of the last 15 years.
