UK government to review its support of biofuels
23 April 2008
Some news just released: following a meeting of leading experts including scientists and food producers at Number 10 Downing Street on Monday, the UK government is to review its biofuels policy.
This follows widespread concern over biofuels' negative effect on food prices. Oxfam recently produced a briefing highlighting the devastating consequences that projected food price hikes will have on poor people.
