• Global Land Grabbing and Trajectories of Agrarian Change: A Preliminary Analysis (2012, background): “This type of operation is likely to be adopted in ethanol production, as exemplified by the Brazilian sugarcane (Wilkinson and Herrera 2010) and the US corn ethanol industries (Gillon 2010). With feedstocks such as jatropha, castor or coconut, biodiesel can also involve small-scale, community-based ”

• The politics of agrofuels and mega-land and water deals: insights from the ProCana case, Mozambique (2011, background): “Despite ebb and flow in the Brazilian ethanol industry since the early 1970s, it continues to be the world’s largest and most technologically advanced sugar cane-based ethanol industry (Wilkinson and Herrera 2010).”
• Land grabbing in Latin America and the Caribbean (2012, unknown): “TNCs involved in the region today include unconventional actors such as oil companies, car conglomerates, biofuel companies, and so on, reflecting the changed global food-energy regime (see Wilkinson and Herrera 2010 in the case of Brazil).”
• Agrarian structure, foreign investment in land, and land prices in Brazil (2012, background): “( 2010 ), this has also produced the emergence of new real-estate brokerage firms linked to the ‘clearing’, preparing and selling of new areas to both domestic and foreign private sector groups in the grain and sugarcane/ethanol industries (Wilkinson and Herrera, 2010 ).”
