In Eururalis 2.0 the main concept and architecture of Eururalis are preserved. Global processes (for example growth of Chinese food consumption) are still part of the Eururalis framework and improvements have been made in this field.

New aspects of Eururalis 2.0 are:

• the inclusion of strategic EU policy options on the future of the CAP and on biofuels. For each of the scenarios the impact of these policy options can be assessed on a set of People, Planet and Profit indicators as well as on land-use.
  
• the downscaling of information from country level to the level of European regions. This gives policy makers better understanding of the relevance of future policy and driving forces for their region and also shows the regions that lead or that lag behind.
  
• the improved interactivity. Users can themselves browse the outcomes for different indicators and different scenarios. The results will be presented in maps and graphs and with explanatory text.
  
• the better treatment of trade offs which offers insight in trade off’s between regions, between Europe and other continents and between indicators.
