African Coalition Calls for Biofuel "Time Out"
02.19.08
A coalition of scientists and NGOs across Africa have called for a moratorium on new biofuel projects because, they say, millions of hectares of agricultural land in sub-Saharan Africa are switching from food to fuel.
According to the group, the prospect of African countries switching to biofuel plantations on the most food-insecure continent has prompted the need for a “time out.”
“We need to protect food security, forests, water, land rights, farmers and indigenous peoples from the aggressive march of agro-fuel developments," the group said in a statement.
