Este informe ofrece una vision general de los avances recientes en la produccion y consumo de la bioenergia. Se examinan los temas principales y las posibles implicaciones economicas de estos avances, evaluando su impacto potencial en el uso de la tierra y el medioambiente, especialmente con respecto a los bosques. El informe examina tanto la biomasa solida como los biocombustibles liquidos, identificando oportunidades y retos en el nivel regional y nacional. La bioenergia supone una oportunidad para que aquellos paises con tierras apropiadas para los cultivos energeticos desarrollen una fuente propia de energia renovable. La mayoria de los paises que estan potenciando el desarrollo de la bioenergia persiguen, al menos, uno de los siguientes objetivos: aumentar la seguridad energetica, estimular el desarrollo rural, reducir el impacto del consumo de energia sobre el cambio climatico, o mejorar el medioambiente en sentido amplio. El desarrollo de la bioenergia ofrece tanto desafios como oportunidades para el desarrollo economico y el medioambiente. Si bien puede crear oportunidades para la generacion de renta y empleo y puede incrementar el acceso de la poblacion mas pobre a mejores tipos de energia existen por ejemplo serias dudas sobre su efecto en la lucha contra el cambio climatico o el medioambiente.

Sensory evaluation methods are extensively used in the wine, beer and distilled spirits industries for product development and quality control, while consumer research methods also offer useful insights as the product is being developed. This book introduces sensory evaluation and consumer research methods and provides a detailed analysis of their applications to a variety of different alcoholic beverages.Chapters in part one look at the principles of sensory evaluation and how these can be applied to alcoholic beverages, covering topics such as shelf life evaluation and gas chromatogr

Divided Spirits tells the stories of tequila and mezcal, two of Mexico's most iconic products. In doing so, the book illustrates how neoliberalism influences the production, branding, and regulation of local foods and drinks. It also challenges the strategy of relying on "alternative" markets to protect food cultures and rural livelihoods. In recent years, as consumers increasingly demand to connect with the people and places that produce their food, the concept of terroir-the taste of place-has become more and more prominent. Tequila and mezcal are both protected by denominations of origin (DOs), legal designations that aim to guarantee a product's authenticity based on its link to terroir. Advocates argue that the DOs expand market opportunities, protect cultural heritage, and ensure the reputation of Mexico's national spirits. Yet this book shows how the institutions that are supposed to guard "the legacy of all Mexicans" often fail those who are most in need of protection: the small producers, agave farmers, and other workers who have been making tequila and mezcal for generations. The consequences-for the quality and taste of tequila and mezcal, and for communities throughout Mexico-are stark. Divided Spirits suggests that we must move beyond market-based models if we want to safeguard local products and the people who make them. Instead, we need systems of production, consumption, and oversight that are more democratic, more inclusive, and more participatory. Lasting change is unlikely without the involvement of the state and a sustained commitment to addressing inequality and supporting rural development.
