Given the projected increase in the demand for animal-source foods in developing countries,
trends in livestock GHG emissions and other environmental impacts, there is an urgent need
to change livestock production. Despite its significant role in global GHG emissions, the
livestock sector also ha...

Incentives for carbon sequestration and energy production in low productivity collective forests in Southwest China
Over the past decade China has quietly emerged as the world’s third largest biofuel producer. Concerned over rising food prices, in June 2007 China’s central government banned the use of grain-based feedstocks for biofuel production and reoriented the country’s bioenergy plans toward perennial cr...

Biofuels in China: an analysis of the opportunities and challenges of Jatropha Curcas in Southwest China
China s forest bioenergy policies are evolving against the backdrop of pressing national energy challenges similar to those faced by OECD countries, and chronic rural energy challenges more characteristic of developing countries. Modern forest bioenergy could contribute to solutions to both of th...

Large or small? Rethinking China s forest bioenergy policies
A number of studies have suggested that addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural
production, or ‘supply-side emissions’, will be insufficient to reduce agri-food sector GHG emissions to limit
the increase of global temperatures to well below 2o
C. Recent studies have also sugge...
