| Book chapter: The Effects of Bioenergy Production on Food Security |
| Author(s) | Achterbosch T; Bartelings H; Tabeau A; van Berkum S; van Meijl H; Woltjer G; |
| Publication date | 2014-12-31 |
| Summary | The purpose of this paper is to deliver a framework and initial application
of a model-based assessment of the food security impacts of changes in bioenergy
production and relevant policies on food security. In an economic framework,
four pathways are established by which biofuel production potentially affects the
dimensions of food security: (1) food availability in connection with the competition
for arable land; (2) the contribution of biofuel use of feedstock to food price
volatility; (3) bi...More |

| Journal publication: The impact of the rebound effect of first generation biofuels on greenhouse gas emissions in the EU |
| Author(s) | Moorad J; Smeets E; Tabeau A; van Berkum S; van Meijl H; Woltjer G; |
| Scheduled date | 2014-10-31 |
| Summary | An important objective of the mandated blending of biofuel in conventional gasoline and diesel in the EU is reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. An important assumption thereby is that biofuels replace the production and consumption of oil. However, recent literature challenges this assumption, because an increased use of biofuels will lower oil prices and therefore result in increase crude oil consumption. This so-called rebound effect offsets the expected GHG emission saving effects of usi...More |

The focus of the paper is to evaluate the sensitivity of the land use changes to different assumptions on the blending mix between ethanol and biodiesel for meeting the 5 % blending target of first generation biofuels, on the intensification level of agricultural produ...More |

| Publication date | 2013-09-26 |
| Summary | To navigate among the long-term challenges for global and national food security, policy makers cannot rely on qualitative analysis only. They also need quantitative tools to measure and rank the different issues that they will face and the policy responses that can be designed. FOODSECURE proposes state-of-the art simulation models that will give both researchers and policy makers the capacity to study these issues in a comprehensive framework. This paper is aimed at providing an overview of th...More |

| Journal publication: The role of non-tariff measures in EU dairy trade with Russia |
| Author(s) | Ciaian P; Drgova L; Mraza M; Pokrivcak J; van Berkum S; |
| Publication date | 2013-05-07 |
| Summary | This article investigates Russian non-tariff measures (NTMs) on dairy products and their implications for EU dairy exports. Based on survey results, numerous and detailed Russian standards on imported dairy products are considered by respondents as redundant and unnecessary from a food safety perspective. Conformity assessment procedures are identified as a major problem when exporting to Russia. They are non-transparent, time-consuming and expose exporters to significant risk that their product...More |

| Journal publication: Sit down at the ball game: how trade barriers make the world less food secure |
| Author(s) | Meijerink G.; Rutten M; Shutes L.; |
| Publication date | 2013-02-28 |
| Summary | This paper analyses the impacts of trade policy responses to rising world food prices by carrying out a series of stylised experiments in the wheat market using a world trade model, GTAP. The sequence of events that is modelled comprises a negative wheat supply shock and subsequent implementation of an export tax by a major net exporter and a reduction in import tariffs by a small importer. The effects of trade policy responses are contrasted with those of full liberalisation of the wheat market...More |

| Author(s) | Kuiper M; Rutten M; Shutes L.; Smeets E; |
| Publication date | 2013-02-01 |
| Summary | The overall impact of biofuels on food security in developing countries is a subject of intense debate. The boost to agriculture could increase incomes, stimulate rural development and increase agricultural productivity, whilst biofuel-induced increases in food prices and competition for land could reduce food consumption. The concern over possible negative impacts has been great enough, together with concerns over land use effects, to
warrant the EU restricting the food-based biofuel component...More |
