Linkages: Bioenergy and Food Security
Bioenergy
Food Availability(Supply)
Food Access (Income and prices)
Food Utilization (Nutrition)
To be defined which, if any, are:Environmental sustainability, social acceptability, and economic viability of the bioenergy sector “setup”
Which options allow to integrate the energy and agriculture production systems?
5
FAO’s Bioenergy and Food Security (BEFS) Approach
• Assisting countries with the development of a sustainable, food secure bioenergy sector that integrates the agricultural sector
• Six areas of support
Impact Monitoring,
Evaluation and Response
Support to Policy
Formulation
Sustainable Bioenergy
AssessmentScoping
Stakeholder Dialogue and Capacity Building
Risk Prevention, Management and Investment Screening
BEFS Rapid Appraisal
BEFS Operator Level Tool

The BEFS Rapid Appraisal
TransportBioethanol, biodiesel

Country Specific Evidence
Country StatusReview of key indicators and trends: Agriculture, Energy, Environment, etc.
Energy End Use Options
Techno-economic and socioeconomic analysis
Biomass Potential Assessment

BEFS Operator Level Tool: indicators and scoring system
• Screening of sustainability of bioenergy projects (environmental, social and economic)– According to EBRD sustainability
requirements and FAO food security indicators
At the end the investment reviewed receives
an overall scoring:
– No significant impacts– Potentially significant impacts, that
can be mitigated– Potentially significant impacts, that
are not acceptable

FAO EBRD project on bioenergy• Title: Supporting National and Private Sector
Capacities in Sustainable Agricultural and Bioenergy Investments
• Aim of the project: supporting decision-making related to bioenergy in countries of operations of the EBRD– The implementation period of the project will run from
October 2014 to August 2016.
• Three core elements of the project:1. Tools: BEFS Rapid Appraisal and BEFS Operator Level
Tool
2. Country level work: Egypt, Turkey, Ukraine, including private sector coverage
3. Capacity building: EBRD and in country
