Fuelling the biofuels debate

I found myself on the Food First site (www.foodfirst.org) today reading what is possibly one of the best overviews of the current food crisis I have come across. While, it does get a little conspiratorial half way through the piece, Pouring Fuel on the Food, written by Eric Holt-Giménez, Ph.D. Executive Director, Food First/Institute for Food and Development Policy, highlights the sheer stupidity of international food policy.

But as Dr. Holt-Giménez so rightly points out this crisis has been in the making for decades. While it is convenient to point the finger at biofuels, the international community really does need to get together and do something about it now. Right now!
