► The study analyses the impact of increased trade on economic and environmental indicators. ► Global costs of food production decrease and the food scarcity index increases with a lower rate. ► Deforestation, mainly in Latin America, leads to significant amounts of additional carbon emissions. ► Non-CO2 emissions will increase most in China due to comparative advantages in livestock production. ► With the generated economic benefits it is possible to compensate for increased emissions and deforestation.
