Abstract
This chapter aims to conduct a systematic literature review about use-value assessment (UVA), land development, and irrigation investment aiming to biofuel production (bioethanol). Our objective is to present a summary of its current status. In order to perform it, Elsevier and Clarivate databases were used (last 25 years) and the results were summarized in five thematic axes. Considering the results, UVA has risen exponentially as the main theme in the studies. However, preferential tax policies for agricultural land, measured via irrigation investment to biofuel production, have not been explored by the scientific literature yet. Finally, studies converge to guarantee energy security without affecting food security. Thus, irrigation technologies that save water are recommended in order to guarantee the quality of the irrigation investment for biofuel production, giving priority to the rainfed crops. This way, productivity will increase and the potential demand of land for food production could be reduced.
