Food versus fuel? Going beyond biofuels
Julia Tomei,Richard Helliwell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the debate on food versus fuel as a lens to examine the interdependencies between the multiple end-uses of feedstocks and the multifunctionality of land, revealing a more nuanced understanding of the realities of agricultural networks, land use conflicts and the values of the people managing land.
