Biofuel partnerships: from battleground to common ground? The effects of biofuel programs on smallholders’ use of land and rights to land in four countries, The Hague, Netherlands, 2012. (Available in EN – ES)

The central objective of this report is to identify practices and policies (of government, business and civil society organizations) that can directly and indirectly help smallholders to secure their rights to land, to keep or gain control over the use of land and to be included in value chains on favourable terms. In order to achieve this objective, six cases in Honduras, Brazil, Indonesia and the Philippines were analyzed for insight into how smallholders were included in different production models for energy crops and how the conditions of their inclusion affected land use and land rights. The case studies were also used to gain insight in how and why smallholders’ access and rights to land change as a result of biofuel production.
