      abstract = {This paper analyzes the consequences of enhanced biofuel  production in regions and countries of the world that have  announced plans to implement or expand on biofuel policies.  The analysis considers not only mandatory blending targets  for transportation fuels, but also voluntary ones. The  chosen quantitative modeling approach is two-fold: it  combines a multi-sectoral economic model (LEITAP) with a  spatial bio-physical land use model (IMAGE). This paper  adds to existing research by considering biofuel policies  in the EU, the US and various other countries with  considerable agricultural production and trade, such as  Brazil, India and China. Moreover, the combination of the  two modeling systems allows for the observation of changes  in both economic and bio-physical indicators. 
The results  show that some indicators with high political relevance,  such as agricultural prices and greenhouse gas emissions  from land use, do not necessarily react proportionally to  increasing demand for agricultural products from the  biofuel sector. This finding should be considered when  designing biofuel policies because these indicators are  directly relevant for food security and climate change.},
