Although the future of biofuels lies in high-output non-food stocks like agricultural and forestry wastes and fast-growing, cellulose-rich energy crops such as perennial grasses and trees, the food or fuel question in on many people's minds today.
This book, developed by the Worldwatch Institute with support from the German Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Consumer Protection, assesses the range of "sustainability" issues the biofuels industry will present in the years ahead, ranging from implications for the global climate and water resources to biological diversity and the world's poor.
The book finds that rising food prices are a hardship for some urban poor, who will need increased assistance from the World Food Programme and other relief efforts. However, it notes that the central cause of food scarcity is poverty, and seeking food security by driving agricultural prices ever lower will hurt more people than it helps.
