African J. of Economic and Sustainable Development (AJESD), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2012

Abstract: The production of biofuels is increasingly regarded as an opportunity for African countries to attain various development goals. Yet, there are risks associated with it, namely concerning food security, emissions of GHG, and the sustainability of eco-systems.
