La production d’agro-carburants. Le cas du palmier à huile.
[9 May 2007]
[en] Would a label "Not produced on Paramilitary land" be possible?
Because agrofuels will need strong support of public money, and because they are supposed to contribute to combating climate change, certification is being proposed as a way to guarantee their ‘sustainability’. This in contrast to all already existing uses of the same commodities like food, feed and paper, for which no criteria exist at all. However, the fact that the EU will add another demand for these commodities, puts into question to what extent criteria can guarantee the sustainability of agrofuels, since agrofuels, if not expanding production in new areas, will displace production for other uses to elsewhere.
