Recital 5
(5) Based on forecasts of biofuel demand provided by the Member States and estimates of indirect land-use change emissions for different biofuel feedstocks it is likely that greenhouse gas emissions linked to indirect land use change arwill be significant, and could negate some or all of the greenhouse gas savings of individual biofuels. This is because almost the entire biofuel production in 2020 is expected to come from crops grown on land that could be used to satisfy food and feed markets. In order to reduce such emissions, it is appropriate to distinguish between crop groups such as oil crops, cereals, sugars and oSuch practices have had a highly unfavourable impact on many local communities in the developing countries. Emission reduction strategy should accordingly take into account of ther starch containing crops accordinglyocial impact and respect for human rights, taking up less of the land intended to supply the food market.
