Bioenergy in Brazil – from traditional to modern systems - Biomass as Energy Source: Resources, Systems and Applications - page 83

conflict of fuel versus food, and public opinion are some of the barriers to be addressed in Brazil
and in the world at large. Planning for social, economic, spatial and environmental balance
simultaneously will be crucial for correcting distorted processes of environmental degradation,
capitalizing on the bioenergy benefits and potential sector synergies, turning the present dynamics
into processes of sustainable development.
