Efterfrågan på biobränslen ökar som ett resultat av höjda klimatreducerande ambitioner som syftar till att ersätta användningen av fossila bränslen. För att möta den ökande efterfrågan uppmärksammas alternativet att odla energigrödor på jordbruksmark för produktion av biobränslen allt mer. Eftersom jordbruksmark är en knapp resurs kan konflikter uppstå mellan livsmedelsproduktion och biomassa för The demand for biofuels is increasing as a result of increased climate mitigation ambitions aiming to replace the use of fossil fuels. To meet the increasing demand, energy crops grown on agricultural land used to produce biofuels is getting more and more attention. Since agricultural land is a scarce resource, conflicts can arise between food production and biomass for biofuels, making it essenti
