Farmers stand to gain from bioenergy development in Thailand

16 Jun 10

Improvements in agricultural productivity and responsible management of natural resources in support of the biofuel sector will unlock additional benefits for farmers, industry and the environment, an FAO statement said today. Findings emerging from the FAO Bioenergy and Food Security (BEFS) Project indicate that Thailand has the means to realize the Government’s plan for the development of the biofuels industry in a sustainable manner without negatively impacting on food security. Biofuels production in Thailand is already economically competitive and offers measurable greenhouse advantages over fossil transport fuels.
