Phase 1: Develop analytical framework and guidance to assess the bioenergy and food security nexus.
Phase 2: Assess bioenergy potential and food security implications.
Phase 3: Strengthen institutional capacities, exchange knowledge, pilot sustainable and food-secure bioenergy practices, and recommend standards and policies
BEFS partners include Cambodia, Peru, Tanzania, and Thailand. The project has already begun in Tanzania. The project provides to these countries a science- based quantitative methodology to minimize food security risks. This approach helps to build their own capacity and management, at the same time, appreciating food security concerns. The project itself is not just an assessment. BEFS produces a permanent economic forecast and food security monitoring, which emphasizes deepening insights for developing countries’ bioenergy potentials
Figure 12.1 shows the analytical framework of the BEFS project. Every module is linearly connected, but entirely independent in relation to other modules. One axis is the basis of all the modules: consideration of food security as primary. The purposes and activities of the modules are discussed below.
12.5.1 Purposes and Activities of Modules
Biomass potential helps stakeholders to understand:
• The extent and location of areas suitable for the relevant bioenergy crops.

• Assist farmers in bioenergy developments in their land-use planning.
• Highlight the advantages and disadvantages of different agricultural production systems and level of inputs.
• Detail land requirements for current and future food to safeguard food production.
