Although processing plants to make fuel was supposed to be a way to reduce mankind's footprint on the earth, more and more evidence is now suggesting that the push to grow biofuels is harming food security, biodiversity and our planet's climate. At this interactive workshop, participants will begin to untangle the links between the food crisis, growing crops to fuel cars, and discuss what a "green" energy and food future should look like.
