Item Agropaliwa – zarys problematyki prawnej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2012) Alexander, LuisThe growing demand for energy increases the importance of biofuels (agrofuels) production worldwide. This paper focuses on the production and use of agrofuels on the markets of the USA, Europe and Latin America. A special attention has been given to the agrofuels of the first and the second generation. The increase in demand for agrofuels has resulted in higher prices of agricultural raw materials. This, in turn has increased rural incomes. Against this background rises a fundamental issue of food security that is not only dependent on the competitive land use and intensity of agriculture, but also on the correlation between the agroenergy production and food prices. In the author‟s opinion the conflict between „bread and fuel‟ is a real threat to food security.
