BioDiesel for all

In recent years we all experienced a dramatic increase in food prices, and many blame the biofuel industry, to exhaust our basic crops, using it for fuel instead of food. Although partially true, here presented 3 claims that will show why I believe that the reasons for food prices boost is not due to biofuels:


1. The rise in food prices due to the increase in crops prices are still greater by a huge extent (200%) relative to the use and production of biofuels.

2. Most of the increase in food prices and shortening of food, in such a short period of time is correlated to the increase in life style in developing countries like China and India, and to increase in demand, and not decrease in food production.

3. A lot of the biofuel production comes from recycled oil or inedible crops. Moreover, the demand for alternative fuels increasing the need of production of better crops and better agricultural techniques, causing an increase in the efficiency of crops production.

As a whole, I believe that promoting biofuels will eventually be excellent for the food industry, since it will give a new focus of better agriculture.
