### based on forecasts of biofuel demand provided by the member states and estimates of indirect land - use change emissions for different biofuel feedstocks it is likely that greenhouse gas emissions linked to indirect land use change are significant , and could negate some or all of the greenhouse gas savings of individual biofuels . this is because almost the entire biofuel production in 2020 is expected to come from crops grown on land that could be used to satisfy food and feed markets . in order to reduce such emissions , it is appropriate to distinguish between crop groups such as oil crops , cereals , sugars and other starch containing crops accordingly . ### based on forecasts of biofuel demand provided by the member states and estimates of indirect land - use change emissions for different biofuel feedstock , s greenhouse gas emissions linked to indirect land use change are significant , and could negate some or all of the greenhouse gas savings of individual biofuels . this is because almost the entire biofuel production in 2020 is expected to come from crops grown on land that could be used to satisfy food and feed markets . indirect land - use changes therefore need to be taken into account so as to prevent these potential sources of emissions from undermining efforts to meet the union ' s renewable energy and greenhouse gas emission targets . in order to reduce indirect land - use change and land grabbing , it is therefore appropriate to distinguish between land - based energy crops on the one hand , and non - land - based biofuels on the other hand . furthermore , increased use of biofuels produced from food crops contributes to food price volatility , and may have a significant negative social impact on livelihoods and the ability to implement human rights including the right to food or access to land for local communities living in poverty in countries outside the union . in order to reduce such emissions and such negative social impact , it is appropriate to focus , in particular , on reducing the projected use of biofuels grown on land .
