Natural Resource Assessment for Crop and Land Suitability: An application for selected bioenergy crops in Southern Africa region

This publication seeks to assist government and institutional policy- and decision-makers in identifying places where energy crops could be grown and in understanding the geographic (agro-ecological and economic) context of bioenergy supplies, at country and regional levels. We trust that it will not only increase awareness about the environmental challenges related to bioenergy crops production systems, but also contribute to the development of new production practices and technologies for sustainable intensification in the context of “Save and Grow”– a new FAO approach that will help cut agriculture’s contribution to climate change.
