Artículo de publicación ISIChile needs to diversify its energy supply, and should establish policies that encourage the production and use of biofuels. The demand for energy resources increases with population growth and industrial development, making it urgent to find green alternatives to minimize the impacts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of traditional fuels. However, it is required that sophisticated strategies consider all externalities from the production of biofuels and should be established on the basis of protecting the environment, reducing GHG emissions and to avoid violating human rights. This article presents the Chilean reality, based on ethical principles that should be guarded to regulate the bioenergy market. These principles are: (1) human rights, (2) environmental sustainability, (3) climate change mitigation, (4) right to a fair reward, and (5) equitable distribution. It is concluded that in Chile the concentration of land and water for the development of extractive industries; and for agricultural and forestry purposes, contradicts the principle of human rights. The unequal distribution of income is also highlighted as part of a cycle of social injustice, with a high Gini coefficient (0.52). However, the policy of biofuels can be strengthened with the early use of second generation feedstock, the introduction of fair trade and regulation by the state to encourage participation of small farmers, and allows a position for Chile at the forefront of bioenergy production

Global Agricultural and Food Marketing in a Global Context

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Public/social behaviour is one of the main elements that determines the success or failure of any commercial product launched in the market, and food product marketing is no exception. There have been several studies conducted to assess attitude, awareness, or acceptance of genetically modified (GM) food products, giving a good insight about the perception towards this product. However, limited attempts have been made to determine the antecedents that influence the attitude towards GM food products in southeast Asian context. This chapter attempts to investigate the influence of perceived benefits, perceived risks, knowledge, general attitude, and trust on attitude towards GM food products in Malaysia, a fast-developing economy. To effectively develop the GM food industry, it is important for the government, policy makers, non-governmental organisations and the industry in general to seriously consider the market's attitude towards GM food products, while formulating commercialisation strategies.
