In the Agricultural economy component only 'first generation' crops are taken into account. The policy is implemented as a budget-neutral policy from government perspective, e.g. a subsidy is implemented to achieve a certain share of biofuels in fuel production and an end-user tax is applied to counterfinance the implemented subsidy. 2014-05-16T16:39:08Z 2456794.1938426 Implementation of biofuel targets 0 1 count 2 [[ConsistsOfPI::Implementation of biofuel targets]] Implementation of biofuel targets# QUERYec55548ed3d21402f31fded7112aa534 0 1 count 2 [[HasEffect::Implementation of biofuel targets]] Implementation of biofuel targets# QUERYa8f7df75d2deedd88a0b50eec69798ed 0 0 plainlist 1 [[:Implementation of biofuel targets]] Implementation of biofuel targets# QUERY2c5b4df2922c41e2126dc21eba71d5cb 0 Obligatory biofuel blending increases the demand for biofuel crops, e.g. maize and oil crops, which causes higher prices. Secondly, production will be increased and/or demand for food will decrease, due to these higher prices. Production can be increased by increasing external inputs, labour or land expansion. Implementation of biofuel targets#EffectOnAgricultural economy 0 Targets for biofuel production/blending impact agricultural production and consequently land use. Implementation of biofuel targets#EffectOnLand-use allocation 0 Targets for biofuel production/blending impact terrestrial biodiversity in two ways. Firstly, land used for biofuel crops usually has a negative impact on biodiversity. Secondly, mitigated climate change - due to the use of biofuels - probably has a positive impact on future biodiversity (change).
