emissions. Feedstock for first generation biofuels and food crops both use arable land andmay compete for it. Also, fuel is an … input for the production and transport of food. The purpose of thispaper is to quantify with empirical data how these two … setting allows an expansion ofbiofuel production to increase food production by lowering costs of production and transport …

Increased future demands for food, fiber and fuels from biomass can only be met if the available land and water …

circulating matter and energy will diminish the need for new input. Its concept lies in maintaining the value of products …-products, human resources, logistics, services, waste, energy, or water. To that end, this Special Issue seeks to contribute to the …

allocation between food and energy and shows how the model can be calibrated using standard optimization techniques. Some … possible implications of the trade-offs between food and energy are discussed. Specifically, we show that the effect of …

Indirect land use change (ILUC) is based on the simple observation that use of cropland for biofuels raises food prices … carbon and decreasing future carbon sequestration. ILUC is mediated by world food and fiber prices and therefore requires no …

effects of these policies on cropland allocation, food and fuel prices, and the mix of biofuels from corn and cellulosic … feedstocks over the 2007-2022 period. We find that the biofuel mandate will increase corn price by 24%, reduce the price of … volumetric tax credits that accompany the mandate significantly changes the mix of biofuels produced in favor of cellulosic …
