Bio-Fuel Crops Research for Energy Security and Rural Development in Developing Countries
BioEnergy Research, 2008Co-Authors: Belum V. S. Reddy, S. Ramesh, A. Ashok Kumar, S. P. Wani, R. Ortiz, H. Ceballos, T. K. SreedeviAbstract:Soaring prices of fossil Fuels, geo-political issues and environmental pollution associated with fossil Fuel use has led to worldwide interest in the production and use of bio-Fuels. Both the developed and developing countries have developed a range of policies to encourage production of combustible Fuels from plants that triggered public and private investments in bio-Fuel Crop research and development, and bio-Fuels production. In this article, we discuss the potential benefits of bio-Fuels in increasing the farmers' incomes, reducing environment pollution, the Crop options and research and development interventions required to generate feedstocks to produce bio-Fuels to meet projected demand without compromising food/fodder security in developing countries

white paper report from working groups attending the international conference on research and educational opportunities in bio Fuel Crop production
Biomass & Bioenergy, 2010Co-Authors: Kelly T Morgan, Robert A Gilbert, Z A Helsel, L Buacum, Ramon G Leon, J PerretAbstract:A conference on current research and educational programs in production of Crops for bio-Fuel was sponsored and organized by the EARTH University and the University of Florida in November, 2008. The meeting addressed current research on Crops for bio-Fuel production with discussions of research alternatives for future Crop production systems, land use issues, ethics of food vs. Fuel production, and carbon sequestration in environmentally sensitive tropical and sub-tropical regions of the Americas. The need and potential for development of graduate and undergraduate curricula and inter-institutional cooperation among educational institutions in the region were also discussed. Delegations from Belize, Brazil, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Honduras, Panama, The Dominican Republic, and the United States including ministers of Agriculture and Energy attended this meeting. Over a two-day period, four working groups provided a framework to facilitate networking, motivate task oriented creative thinking, and maintain a timely accomplishment of assigned duties in the context of the conference themes. Participants in the conference were assigned to one of four working groups, each following given topics: Agronomy, Environment, Socio-Economics and Education/Extension. It was the consensus of representatives of industry, academic and regulatory community assembled in Costa Rica that significant research, education and socio-economic information is needed to make production of bio-Fuel Crops sustainable. Agronomic research should include better Crop selection based on local conditions, improved production techniques, pest and disease management, and mechanical cultivation and harvesting. Another conclusion was that tailoring of production systems to local soil characteristics and use of bio-Fuel by-products to improve nutrient use efficiency and reduction of environmental impact on water quantity and quality is critical to sustainability of bio-Fuel Crop production.
