Abstract
Biofuels and bioenergy has become a global issue due to the widespread interest in finding and developing alternatives to fossil fuels, including biofuels, while ensuring food security and environmental quality. Many developing countries have ample and unique bio-resources to utilize for generating bioenergy and have an opportunity to harness their rich biological resources. Education, capacity building, information, dialogue and networking are critical to better formulate appropriate policies, research, development, and outreach programs to address energy issues for sustainable development. Currently there is a lack of training programs, courses and curriculum devoted to biofuels/bioenergy.
