While forming policies towards producing biofuels from biomass as a renewable energy source, energy, agricultural, environmental and rural development issues are interrelated. After discussing the literature on biofuels in detail, this paper aims at evaluating their impacts in Turkey. The support and subsidies provided to the private sector and farmers by the public sector will be crucial to implement the new technologies in Turkey. The allocation of resources and the distribution of income after production are other important matters related with energy farming. While food security is another important issue, regulation may be needed to protect the agricultural sector. To form policies towards biofuels, for sustainable growth, Turkey needs detailed planning and development of dynamic and integrated policies in energy, agriculture, environment and rural development
