Socioeconomic Sustainability Dimensions of Biofuels in the Americas

Although many Pan American governments continue to incentivize the growth of the biofuels industry, one of the key challenges for biofuels sustainability has been concern about its social impacts and implications. This session focuses on the Pan American region and invites research abstracts on the social implications of future biofuel and bioenergy expansion. Examples of relevant topics include food security, land and resources rights, and related topics. Case study presentations are also welcomed
