Gender and equity issues in liquid biofuels production minimizing the risks to maximize the opportunities
This paper shows how the potential environmental and socio-economic risks associated with large-scale production of liquid biofuels in developing countries might affect men and women (at the intra-household level) and male- and female-headed households differently, depending also on the specific socio-economic and policy context considered. This reflects men and women's different roles and responsibilities, as well as pre-existing gender-based, socioeconomic inequalities, particularly in terms of access to and control of land and productive assets in general, as well as historic discriminatory practices.
