| Summary: |
The present dissertation is devoted to establishing the relationship between big scale expansion of Palm Oil crops to produce biofuel in Colombia and regional food security. A detailed exposition of the environmental impact, land use, displacement of traditional crops and natural forest, land conflict and human rights, inclusion of biofuel production as a national government policy, to finally address the food security problem in Colombia. We expose arguments, after the review of previous studies in this subject, that despite the positive employment and energy effect of biofuels production, there is large negative consequences in the displacement of traditional agricultural production, and in the indirect increase in land conflicts including human right violations and violence related events. The large-scale Oil Palm production for biofuels have stripped away the main source of food of thousand in families in Colombia, which becomes a food security problem. |
