Özet

Ozdal Koksal(1), Ilkay Dellal(2) DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES OF BIOFUEL USE Agriculture is starting to contribute to solving environmental problems by transforming food products to energy products. Crops can be used as biofuel, demands for crops have raised and this usage could be a paradox of agricultural markets - to produce them for food or for energy? While demand for agricultural goods has increased, their prices have also increased. Thus, food crisis took place in the world in 2007-2008. The aim of this paper is to give information about relationship between food and energy sector, recent developments and trends in agriculture and energy sectors in terms of prices for food and fuels and environmental policies.
