Food vs Fuel V2.0: Impacts of Biofuels on Agricultural Markets and Food Security

GLOBAL | 24 JANUARY 2023 | HYBRID

Also streaming on Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn

With tight global supplies and global food inflation at the highest levels in many years, there is renewed criticism of biofuel policies that divert food and feedstuffs to produce fuels. Biofuel proponents argue that biofuel policies enhance energy self-sufficiency and reduce GHG emissions. This session will review the growth in global biofuel production and examine its impact on demand and market prices for grain and oilseeds.
