TROPICAL BELT
Conclusion: Production of biofuels and food is
the way forward to secure the development of
the countries of the tropical belt
 Building of production chains which include the small rural producers
 Generation of income: access to health and education
 Training of labor force
 Preservation of the environment (advanced techniques)
 Reduce outside dependence and expand energy security
 Creation of strong currency (exports)
