The book highlights land use dynamics, cultivation practices related to conversion and wider impacts. It explores how biofuel production chain development is steered by emerging technologies and management practices and how both can be influenced by effective policies designed to encourage sustainable biofuel production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book highlights major biofuel production chains including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ecane cultivation in Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ecorn ethanol in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ewheat and rapeseed in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eoil palm in the Far East\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ecane in Asia and Africa\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSRC and other lignocellulosic crops.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn each case the development, cropping systems and impacts are discussed, system dynamics are shown and lessons drawn for the way things could or should change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBiofuel Cropping Systems is a vital resource for all those who want to understand the way biofuels are produced and how they impact other elements of society and especially how improvements can be made.
