In an independent report launched today by a consortium of industry and non-governmental organizations, IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) promotes an innovative policy approach to address the risk of indirect land use change through biofuel production. This involves encouraging and rewarding practices that reduce this risk and penalizing producers who take no action.
There are risks that expanding biofuel production could displace some agricultural production activities onto land with high natural carbon stocks, such as grasslands and forests, leading to significant greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss and potentially threatening food security.
