Study On The Impact Of Biofuel Industry Development On Food Security

As a kind of low carbon energy, biofuels have energy security, optimize energy structure, reduce carbon emissions and other important role. However, theoretical model analysis and foreign experience shows that the major food crops such as corn as the raw material of biofuel production may be produced to reclaim land and grain, the influence of the increase food prices, and transmission mechanism through international trade impact on the global food supply and prices. Changes of domestic corn and other food crops planting area of correlation analysis showed that the current corn-based biofuels production scale has not impact on other food crops and prices. But, as with food crops or food crops as raw material to the expansion of biofuel production, it will inevitably impact on domestic food production and price, for this reason, this article preliminary estimates the size of the three kinds of biofuels production capacity influence on domestic food production and prices, and based on food security and industry development dual goal from industry guidance and regulation, industry technical support, the industrial economic incentives three aspects put forward the development of biofuel industry policy system and policy.
