Think you are wrong there... |
On what point do you think I am wrong?
I did not say that bio-fuel was not a factor in rising food prices.
I was just pointing out that it is one of very many non-food, non-essential
uses of potential farmland.
You could cut food prices by cutting down bio-fuel production, but equally you
could cut food prices by cutting down on luxery land use as listed above.
