A/HRC/9/23 page 36 Annex II THE IMPACTS OF AGROFUELS PRODUCTION ON THE RIGHT TO ADEQUATE FOOD 1. In the broad sense of the expression, agrofuels include all biofuels produced out of agriculture and livestock products. The agrofuels that have been the object of tremendous increase in demand and also of fierce debates in recent years, i.e. bioethanol and biodiesel for transportation (circled in both Diagram 1 and Figure 1), are only a fraction of agrofuels, and as Figure 1 shows, they constitute a tiny fraction of biofuels in general. The debate on liquid biofuels for transportation should not obviate all the other non-transport or stationary uses of biofuels, including biogas, firewood and even bioetanol and biodiesel for stationary energy in rural areas. In this paper, for the ease of convenience unless specified otherwise, the term agrofuels refers to liquid biofuels used for transport, i.e. bioethanol and biodiesel.
