Book (series)EGYPT, TURKEY AND UKRAINE Sustainable bioenergy options from crop and livestock residues 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The report covers the The Bioenergy and Food Security (BEFS) Approach of FAO. BEFS helps countries design and implement sustainable bioenergy policies and strategies, by ensuring that bioenergy development fosters both food and energy security, and that it contributes to agricultural and rural development in a climate-smart way. It consists of tools and guidance to support countries through the main stages of the bioenergy policy development and implementation process. For instance, the BEFS Rap id Appraisal (RA) consists of a set of easily applicable methodologies and user-friendly tools which allow countries to get an initial indication of their sustainable bioenergy potential and of the associated opportunities, risks and trade-offs. The report details how the assessment was implemented in Egypt and Turkey, and the resulting outcomes and recommendations for the countries, as well as how the ground looks like for Ukraine. -
Book (stand-alone)Impacts of Bioenergy on Food Security
Guidance for Assessment and Response at National and Project Level
2012FAO’s Bioenergy and Food Security Criteria and Indicators (BEFSCI) project has developed a set of indicators that be used to assess the impacts of bioenergy on food security at both national and levels. In addition, BEFSCI has identified range of possible responses to these impacts. Modern bioenergy development, through its environmental and socio-economic impacts, may have positive or negative effects on the four dimensions of food security: availability; access; utilization, and stabilit y. -
Book (stand-alone)Bioenergy and Food Security - The BEFS Analytical Framework 2010
Also available in:
A potent argument for bioenergy development lies in the ability of the sector to unlock agricultural potential by bringing in much needed investments to raise agricultural productivity to spur food security and poverty reduction. This document presents the BEFS Analytical Framework (AF) developed to test this argument. Agriculture lies at the heart of the BEFS AF and allows governments to consider viable pro-poor strategies for bioenergy development. The set of tools within the BEFS AF offers an integrated approach to decision-making that combines the technical viability with the country’s prevailing social and economic development objectives. This document explains the rationale and structure of the BEFS AF, provides a general overview of the tools and their application, and illustrates how the analytical information generated assists policy makers in making informed decisions concerning the many varied consequences of bioenergy developments on food security, pov erty reduction and agriculture development and economic growth.
