Reconciling food security and bioenergy: priorities for action (2017, background): “Interestingly, organizations wishing to show that biofuels do not raise food prices often cite the same FAO ‘food commodity’ data over similar time spans (e.g., see Zhang et al., 2010; Mueller et al., 2011; and GRFA, 2015).”
Remote Sensing Time Series to Evaluate Direct Land Use Change of Recent Expanded Sugarcane Crop in Brazil (2011, background): “[11] concluded that the recent food price increase is not correlated to the increased demand of biofuels.”
Sustainability in the water–energy–food nexus (2015, background): “Rosegrant (2008), for instance, argued that the conversion of agricultural land into the production of biofuel feed stock put upward pressure on food prices; and various experts suggested that maize-based biofuel development accounted for a significant share of global commodity price increases (see ”
Global assessment of research and development for algae biofuel production and its potential role for sustainable development in developing countries (2013, background): “Efforts are now underway to develop methods for the sustainable use of the residual, non-food components of existing biomass sources such as the stems, leaves, and husks, along with the cultivation of non-food crops such as jatropha, mahua, tobacco seed and miscanthus (Mueller et al., 2011b).”
