This book performs a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats) analysis to examine the current food crisis and how it
relates to the use of crops for energy. It analyses how energy
crops may help solve humankind's environmental changes and
summarises the economic and practical changes of cultivating and
utilising energy crops. Two of humanity's greatest challenges are
the need for more food production as well as growing demands for
energy. Biofuel cultivation has been identified as a solution to
growing energy use, and biomass power plants offer a rare renewable
energy source that requires only basic technology. In this context,
a dilemma arises concerning whether energy crops should be used for
energy or to help remedy the food crisis. SWOT analysis allows us
to organise and weigh different pros and cons against each other in
terms of economics, job creation, environmental impacts, the
climate change agenda, and European Union (EU) directives that
promote biofuels over fossil fuels. By pursuing this approach, the
book helps researchers and decision-makers cut through the many
competing arguments in connection with this complex subject.
