Abstract: This paper addresses the future potential of biofuel production in agriculture, with a particular view to its implementation in agriculture in Europe. After a brief account of recent developments, an exploratory meta-analysis is presented in order to assess the effectiveness of biofuel production from the perspective of several relevant policy criteria. Next, various scenarios are outlined and evaluated by means of a multi-criteria analysis, so as to judge the feasibility of various biofuel production options. The paper concludes with some policy lessons.
