The Cost of Biofuels

This article is even shorter than the previous one I suggested.    It is about a plantation in Africa that wants to grow a biofuel crop and export the fuel to Europe.  Big profits for Big Agribiz, with destruction of indigenous culture and bio-diversity as the cost.   Read the article first which is above my comment.  This article provides a good contrast to the one below which talks about how much food we can grow on small farms using more traditional and organic methods.  This article gives an example of Big Agribiz' approach to land use.  Read both and you have the pros and cons spelled out clearly.
