The development of biofuels, which has emerged at the interface of agriculture and energy at the global level, has been one of the most significant agricultural developments in recent years. During the 1990s, the industrialized economies of North America and Europe actively pursued policies in support of domestic biofuel industries to achieve energy security, develop a substitute for fossil fuels, and support rural economies. In addition, the rising concern over climate change in the last decade propelled interest in biofuels as a possible means of mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
