(some col.)1 aEnvironment and natural resources management working paper,  aSeries statement corrected by pasted in corrigendum.  a"A potent argument for bioenergy development lies in the ability of the sector to unlock agricultural potential by bringing in much needed investments to raise agricultural productivity to spur food security and poverty reduction. This document presents the BEFS Analytical Framework (AF) developed to test this argument. Agriculture lies at the heart of the BEFS AF and allows governments to consider viable pro-poor strategies for bioenergy development. The set of tools within the BEFS AF offers an integrated approach to decision-making that combines the technical viability with the country's prevailing social and economic development objectives. This document explains the rationale and structure of the BEFS AF, provides a general overview of the tools and their application, and illustrates how the analytical information generated assists policy makers in making informed decisions concerning the many varied consequences of bioenergy developments on food security, poverty reduction and agriculture development and economic growth."--Provided by publisher. 0aBiomass energy. 0aBiomass energy 0aFood security.2 aFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.41uhttp://www.fao.org/docrep/013/i1968e/i1968e.pdf41uhttp://www.fao.org/docrep/013/i1968e/i1968e00.htm
