The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) is one of the centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) which seeks "sustainable solutions for ending hunger and poverty". In pursuit of its vision, one issue that it has focused on is biofuels policy and its implications on agricultural/energy markets, and eventually implications on food security and poverty. Its website has a "Bioenergy" page, which posts some useful discussion papers on the topic of biofuels and food prices, poverty and climate change. The number of bioenergy policy-related discussion papers are available for download at the IFPRI website. Some of these papers are: "Biofuels, Poverty, and Growth: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis of Mozambique", "Biofuels and Grain Prices: Impacts and Policy Reponses", "Food Prices, Biofuels, and Climate Change", "When Food Makes Fuel: The Promises and Challenges of Biofuels"..
