This fourth volume of the report "Brazil of Biofuels - Impacts of Crops on Land, Environment and Society" opens the second year of activities of Repórter Brasil’s Biofuel Watch Center (BWC). Under the general aim of annually monitoring the effects of crops used to produce bioenergy, from the social, environmental, land and labour perspectives, we launch our first updating report concerning soybean and castor bean. In 2008, the Brazilian government and the country’s business sector made efforts to establish Brazil as a centre to produce and export biofuel. Although units crushing oleaginous plants and producing biodiesel have multiplied, they are still underused. Therefore, expectation on more plantations or fear of higher socio-environmental damages resulting from agro-energy is justified. This report is expected to be useful to people, organisations, and movements engaged in effective alternatives to predatory production.
