Biofuel Matters, 2008
The impact of EU biofuel policy on food economics and food security to 2020
The purpose of the study is to discuss potential impacts on food security and prices up to 2020 by utilising EU cereal crops for bioethanol production. It considers the impact of the EU biofuel policies on the economics of food production and food security within Europe; the impact on poverty, which is cited as the main cause of hunger, in the developing world; and how new biofuel technologies may impact on these issues.
