TOPIC: The role of biofuels in supporting agricultural productivity and long-term resilience
SUMMARY: An analysis of how biofuels can strengthen agricultural markets, encourage innovation and contribute to food, energy, and climate goals.
DESCRIPTION: Commissioned by U.S. Farmers & Ranchers in Action (USFRA) and prepared by S&P Global Energy, Fueling Agriculture: Biofuels as the Catalyst examines the changing relationship between agriculture, energy, and sustainability. The report argues that slowing population growth and maturing food demand are creating structural challenges for agriculture, while biofuels present an opportunity to support farm profitability, strengthen rural economies, and encourage continued investment in productivity. Through market analysis, scenario modelling and industry interviews, it explores how advances in agricultural technology and expanded biofuel demand could increase crop yields, strengthen food, and feed supplies and contribute to energy security and emissions reduction without requiring significant land expansion.
