Biofuels and Rural Poverty
Biofuels and Rural Poverty
makes an original contribution to the current
controversial global debate on biofuels, in particular the consequences that
large-scale production of transport fuel substitutes can have on rural areas,
principally in developing countries but also in some poor rural areas of devel-
oped countries.
Three key concerns are examined with a North–South perspective: ecolog-
ical issues (related to land use and biodiversity), pro-poor policies (related to
food and land security, gender and income generation) and equity of benefits
within the global value chain. Can biofuels be pro-poor? Can smallholder
farmers be equitably integrated in the biofuels global supply chain? Is the
biofuels supply chain detrimental to biodiversity?
Most other books available on biofuels take a technical approach and
are aimed at addressing energy security or climate change issues. This title
focuses on the socio-economic impact on people’s livelihoods, offering a
unique perspective on the potential role of biofuels in reducing rural poverty.
