Cesano presented the key factors that lead to the development of the Brazilian ethanol and biodiesel industries. Three on-going small scale projects have been analyzed from a rural development perspective to compare their socio-economic benefits in relation to large scale projects. Through a preliminary analysis, Cesano has tried to identify alternative partnership structures between the private sector and rural communities.
