FAO’s BEFS Approach: mission
The BEFS Approach helps countries design
and implement sustainable bioenergy
policies and strategies, by ensuring that
bioenergy development:
→ contributes to agricultural and rural
development in a climate-smart way, and
→ fosters both food and energy security

Sustainable Bioenergy Assessment:
BEFS Rapid Appraisal
• The BEFS Rapid Appraisal allows countries to get a
preliminary indication of their sustainable bioenergy
potential and of the associated opportunities, risks
and trade-offs
• How is food security safeguarded?
- Bioenergy feedstock potential is additional to current and
planned uses for food and feed
- Options for income and employment generation assessed
• How is sustainability ensured?
- Exclusion of biodiversity- and carbon-rich areas
- Sustainable use of natural resources
- Economic and social sustainability addressed
