Summary of issues covered/discussed

Local production and consumption of biomass plays an important role in sustainable livelihood strategies of, in particular, rural women in developing countries. However, international trade in biomass is already cuasing a negative impact on food sovereignity, rural livelihoods, forest and other ecosystems and these negative impacts are expected to accumulate rapidly.

Biofuels are a disaster in the making. International demand for biofuels is already surpassing the supply in countries, like Malaysia and Brazil giving push to the expansion of destructive crops oil palm and sugar cane.

There is nothing green or sustainable to imported or exported biofuel.

Recommendations from the activity/event

Corporations should be held accountable for any social and environmental damage that has occurred.

The expansion of biofuels trade has political backing and so must be fought political as well
