The European Union has warned that the targets set out for Green Fuels will accelerate the destruction of the rainforests and force indigenous people from their land. The bio-fuel industry is a multi billion-dollar industry and at the centre of a worldwide movement to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Biofuels derived from agricultural products such as wheat corn, sugar cane and other crops are a key issue and a balance has to be made between the fuel production and the ecology of the planet. Done right, it could mean that it will be the farmers who will benefit.
