Biofuels and Food Security — A zero-draft consultation paper
This Report starts with outlining the main policies taken at national and regional level for the promotion and creation of biofuels markets. While Brazil, the US and the EU clearly dominate production, more than 50 countries have adopted biofuels targets and/or incorporated transport fuels mandates for the development of biofuels. In addition, while policies have been elaborated at national or at most regional level these have led to trade and investment in biofuels on a global scale.
