In contrast, expansion in Brazil ethanol use and production chiefly affects land used for sugarcane production in Brazil and to a lesser extent in other sugar-producing countries, but with small impact on other land uses in most countries. wheat and oilseeds prices, which are all transmitted to world markets. ![]() ![]() The latter has global effects on land allocation as higher coarse grains prices transmit worldwide. demand for ethanol translates into a U.S. Land moves away from major crops and pasture competing for resources with feedstock crops. The multipliers show at the margin how sensitive land allocation is to the growing demand for ethanol. We shock the model with exogenous changes in ethanol demand, first in the United States, then in Brazil, China, EU, and India, and compute shock multipliers for land allocation decisions for crops and countries of interest. type of crop, and pasture use for countries growing feedstock for ethanol (corn, sorghum, wheat, sugarcane, and other grains) and major crops competing with feedstock for land resources such as oilseeds. The model incorporates the tradeoffs between biofuel, feed, and food production and consumption and international feedback effects of the emergence through world commodity prices and trade. and world agriculture for the coming decade using the multi-market multi-commodity international FAPRI model. ![]() We quantify the emergence of biofuel markets and its impact on U.S. ![]()
