Book Description
La dicotomía entre protección del medio ambiente y producción energética ha tenido en los biocombustibles una promisoria salida para resolver tanto los efectos del cambio climático como la sostenibilidad energética del mundo. Este libro contiene los resultados de una investigación financiada por la Gobernación del Atlántico, con recursos del Fondo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación del Sistema General de Regalías, y orientada a promover el desarrollo del sector biodiésel en este departamento. La obra presenta el análisis de la actual situación del sector de biodiésel en Colombia, sus potencialidades e integración con otros elementos de su cadena productiva, desde la perspectiva económica y de mercado. Con ello se espera contribuir al debate económico acerca de los biocombustibles en Colombia, con miras a lograr la consolidación de una política pública coherente y alineada con los intereses generales que por su amplitud —medio ambiente y energía— transcienden las fronteras nacionales.

Biofuels and Food Security
Author: Tatsuji Koizumi
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783319056449
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Examining the relationship between biofuels and food security, this book presents an economic analysis of the competition between biofuels and food. It covers the historical and current situation of biofuels and food security in Brazil, China, Japan, USA, EU, Thailand, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and other countries. Furthermore it demonstrates that not only feedstock of agricultural product-based biofuels, but also cellulose-based biofuels can compete with food-related demand and agricultural resources. The issue of whether this competition is good or bad for food security is explored, and this topic is examined at global, national, sub-national and household levels. In order to deal with energy security, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to strengthen agricultural/rural development, biofuel production and utilization is increasing all over the world. One of the most crucial problems is the competition for resources between biofuel and food. This biofuel and food security discussion is expected to continue into the future, and this book proposes the action that is needed to deal with this issue on various levels. Biofuel and Food Security provides a valuable resource to undergraduates and researchers of economics, agricultural economics and renewable science, and also policy makers involved in government or international organizations. It will additionally be of interest to those employed in renewable energy and agriculture in an industrial capacity.
