Charity casts further doubt on biofuels

The biofuels debate was stepped up another notch today as the 'anti
agro-fuels' charity Grain launched an attack on plans to tackle
climate change with plant-based petrol.

The charity claims to have evidence that both biofuels companies and
governments are putting pressure on indigenous peasant communities in
developing countires to vacate areas staked out for growing jatropha.
A spokesman for the charity said: "The numbers involved are mind-
boggling. The Indian government is talking of planting 14 million
hectares of land with jatropha."
