KLN (kay, Lietz, Naboulsi) SDI 2008 Hydrogen aff Inherency ~ Biofuels Cause Bad Consequences BIOFUELS CAUSE FOOD PRICES TO INCREASE IN AFRICA Voice of America News, July 8 20, G8 Promises Help for African Agriculture, In ‘The non-governmental organization ActionAid says biofuels are responsible for as much as one-third of the recent increase in food prices. Action Aid's Carol Kayira says that is bad for Africa. "Africa is being earmarked as the source of biofuels in the future, that Africa would develop if they implement ‘the biofuels or if they grow biofuels," she said. "And for us in Africa, we are saying no. First of all, we need more research on biofuels. Secondly, we are saying we are already having difficulties to produce our own food to feed ‘ourselves, so if you come in Africa and then you are taking out the basic resources that we require for food for biofuels, you are making the problem worse.” INCREASING THE USE OF BIOFUELS LEADS A RISE IN FOOD PRICES States News Service, April 14, 2008, LN Particular conflict situations had also been discussed, inside and outside the region, he said, adding that another area of interest had been the global rise in food prices. That was not simply a temporary blip in prices caused by a crop failure here or there. The underlying factors included population growth, changing dietary patterns, increasing. Prosperity, and not least in countries like China and India, the effect of biofuels and the fact that very few countries had large strategic grain reserves. All of that was contributing to the price rise, the consequences of which were very wide. The humanitarian system would be affected, since more people were likely to be hungry and there was likely to be increased food insecurity and greater difficulty in meeting those needs. 8SKLN (kay, Lietz, Naboulsi) ‘SDI 2008 Hydrogen aff _Inherency- Peak production of natural gas is nearing Natural Gas is nearing peak production now James Provenzano, President of Clean Air Now and Geoffery Holland, The hydrogen age : empowering a clean-energy future, 2007 (p. 73-4) ne ntl gs indy marking ee: tor has doves spledi ob of promoting fr predic spring up new costes.
