Abstract
Abstract The chapter explores the role of biofuel in climate mitigation. Closely tied to fossil fuel sectors through the intensive use of fertilizers and mechanization, agro-industrial biofuels have come under much criticism during the 2007-8 so-called ‘global food crisis’ and ensuing ‘global land grab’. The chapter discusses how many affected communities point at the risk of losses in biodiversity, food security, landscape quality, and cultural bondedness of the land. Concerns are particularly acute among subsistence and small-scale farmers, and in particular women and youth, who rely on such lands for livelihoods as well as some of their food and energy sources, but will often not be offered employment in or benefits from biofuel projects. The chapter examines cases in Ethiopia and Ghana, discussing peasant grievances and patterns of boom and bust in the agro-industrial biofuel sector.
