Abstract: The Brazilian biodiesel-program - a socially acceptable approach? The biofuel production is often supposed to cause social problems. It contributes to the rise of food prices which disadvantages the poor. The Brazilian government tries to mitigate this problem. The Brazilian biodiesel program aimes especially at the socially weakest persons, the small farmers. Several instruments favour this inclusion. However, until now the social aim of the biodiesel program is not gained because the government itself has no interest in enforcing its instruments credibly.
