Resumen
Descripción
Structural change in the agricultural sector as well as in the whole agricultural value chain is an
ongoing dynamic process and creates a number of diverse phenomena. The EU Strategy for Biofuels
(2006) and the Biomass action plan (2005) set a clear signal that the EU wishes to establish
and to support the bio energy-industry. The perceivable aim of the Common Agricultural Policy
(CAP) consists in reducing food production and in enlarging the non-food production. Another
driver for the attractiveness of bio-energy and bio-fuel production is the recent development of
prices of crude oil and natural gas. Furthermore bio-energy is seen as one of the key options to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and substitute fossil fuels.
