In the following article is part quite well summarized what is currently running on the world food market:

From the massive speculation that helped the prices of maize and wheat in a short time to drive 60-80% upwards, but not a word.
And only pretty on the edge is mentioned, what the madness of Biospriterzeugung actually means (the EU so now with the new "Bio" gasoline still fired): eco-wellbeing for Green Spinner, hunger for the poor.
Estimated more than a third of US corn production going in the Bioverspritung.
I have just been to a bottle of olive oil checked (soybean oil, etc. have similar caloric values): 819 calories per 100 ml it says; this means that a person can survive from condensing ago from a quarter liter of oil one day.
So if you moved ten liters of biofuel, these are people forty days, basic food for a family of six for a week.
If you still considering how inefficient the production of biofuel is, especially of maize and oilseed rape (in the case of sugarcane, the balance is not quite as devastating), as once a massive use of energy for machinery, fertilizers, pesticides, processing etc. is required, so you can those who know all this very well and yet represent active as a necessary and proper only be described as criminal.
Or you fall for a more apt term a? (more ...)
