Fuelling poverty?: an agro-fuel guideline for India [1]

This agrofuel watch guideline is supposed to be applied for monitoring of the status of the right to food in the context of expansions of agro-fuel at community level. The study includes Case studies of Violations of Right to Food due to Agro-fuel Cultivation in India.

The incidence and analysis of agro-fuel production in India are at a nascent stage. The project by FIAN in cooperation with the Heinrich-Boell-Foundation India has taken the initiative to systematically examine the issue, with particular emphasis on RTF. This agrofuel watch guideline is supposed to be applied for monitoring of the status of the right to food in the context of expansions of agro-fuel at community level. Continuing work on these lines would serve to develop a better understanding of the
prospects and problems of agro-fuel in India. It is hoped that such an understanding can lead to enlightened policies resulting in inclusive and sustainable development all.
