BIOFUELS FOR TRANSPORTATION REPORT EVALUATES SUSTAINABLE FARMING IMPACT.

The article discusses the evaluation on the sustainable farming impact of biofuels for transportation based on the study sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The research assesses opportunities and risks with large-scale development of biofuels based on the studies on biofuel use in Brazil, China, Germany, India and Tanzania. Suzanne Hunt, Worldwatch Biofuels project manager, said that it is important that government incentives be used to minimize competition between food and fuel crops and to discourage expansion onto economically valuable lands.
