When considering land-use impacts linked to bioenergy production in Europe, it should be underlined that impacts can also take place outside Europe, since the quantity of wood required to satisfy the EU Renewable Energy target for 2020 is to large to be met by domestic resources alone and require huge imports which are already underway. Among consequences and potential risks cited in literature and research are deforestation and forest degradation, land-grabbing and endangered food security, among others.

Abstract
When considering land-use impacts linked to bioenergy production in Europe, it should be underlined that impacts can also take place outside Europe, since the quantity of wood required to satisfy the EU Renewable Energy target for 2020 is to large to be met by domestic resources alone and require huge imports which are already underway. Among consequences and potential risks cited in literature and research are deforestation and forest degradation, land-grabbing and endangered food security, among others.File in questo prodotto:
