%X this paper proposes some issues for debating latin america£¿s policy agendas in the context of the current transition from a global economy based on fossil fuels to another based on renewable energies. this is a context which poses crucial policy dilemmas: first, prioritizing the production of agro-fuels or food?; second, promoting the domestic production of agro-fuels or exports?; and third, to achieve the compatibility between the international competitiveness of agro-fuels and a socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable rural development agenda? the challenge, thus, is how to make compatible the unavoidable transition to a post-fossil fuel economy with the needs to restructure latin america£¿s agricultural sectors and rural territories.
