| Abstract: | Bioenergy has been politically promoted as
a means to mitigate air pollution, climate change, and
scarcity of fossil energy sources. This study addresses
the question whether increased agricultural incomes
from bioenergy production will improve food security
despite increasing food prices. We use a small partial
equilibrium to analyze bioenergy policies. Through an
iterative procedure, income changes are used to shift
food demand curves until equilibrium. Our results show
that despite global reductions in food production,
undernourishment may decrease in certain locations,
where bioenergy production occurs. |
