Proponents of agro fuels generally argue that
Agro fuel production will address the economic crisis
facing many developing countries; they will create
wealth and jobs and alleviate poverty.
These arguments overlook the other side of the story
and leave many questions unanswered. Is the push
for agro fuel production in the interest of the
developing countries or are the real beneficiaries
Northern industrialized countries?
Will the production of agro fuels actually provide more jobs?
and enhance economic development at the
community level? Will it address the issue of food?
insecurity plaguing the developing world? What are
the social and environmental costs of agro fuel
production to host communities? Who stands
to benefit from the entire process?
