Jump to:Biofuels and Rural Poverty [Hardback]by Joy Clancy and Jon LovettThis book is OUT OF PRINT You may be able to find a copy at ABE Books Description of Biofuels and Rural Poverty"Biofuels and Rural Poverty" makes a unique 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 developed countries. Three key concerns are examined with a North-South perspective: ecological 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 book breaks new ground by looking at the production of biofuels from another perspective: the role of biofuels in reducing rural poverty.Title Information
