		<description><![CDATA[ActionAid has produced a report called “Meals Per Gallon: The impact of industrial biofuels on people and global hunger,” which says that EU companies had taken millions of acres of land out of food production in Africa, central America and Asia, to grow biofuels for transport.
They say that most industrial biofuels are made from agricultural [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been much heated debate about using good cropland to grow biofuel . Many people believe that this will push up the price of food while others believe that it is essential for the west to grow biofuels to make us less dependent on imported oil and also to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

		<description><![CDATA[There has been a food versus fuel debate going on, with green campaigners asking for a moratorium on all biofuel targets until sustainability criteria are in place.
