Food vs. fuel

The food concern reached such a frenzy that top international food scientists called for a halt to biofuel production in order to bring prices down, and Europeans are talking about scrapping, at least temporarily, goals for biofuel use.
Global experts predict that to feed the world’s growing population, some 500 million new acres of cropland will be needed by 2030, a 20 percent increase.

The concerns are not only about traditional food crops such as corn being diverted to ethanol. Critics say the use of foreign-grown palm oil and soybeans as a biofuel source leads to the destruction of precious rain forests.
