Renewable energy boom could drive up global food prices
This paper discusses the importance of finding new ways to create energy due to the limited availability of current sources. It focuses on using biomass as a renewable energy source. The researchers point out that biomass, like biogas and bio-fuels, can help meet our energy needs sustainably. The European Union is investing heavily in renewable energy, aiming to replace some traditional fuels with bio-fuels by 2020. However, there are concerns that increasing bio-fuel production could raise food prices because food is being used to make fuel. Despite these challenges, many countries are supporting biomass energy projects to solve various social, economic, and environmental issues.
