Oilgae - Glossary


Food for Fuel - Definition, Glossary, Details - Oilgae

Food or Fuel? - A major criticism often levelled against biomass, particularly against large-scale fuel production, is that it could divert agricultural production away from food crops, especially in developing countries. The basic argument is that energy-crop programmes compete with food crops in a number of ways (agricultural, rural investment, infrastructure, water, fertilizers, skilled labour etc.) and thus cause food shortages and price increases.

Food vs. Fuel - As energy demands devour crops once meant for sustenance, the economics of agriculture are being rewritten

Nutrition: Food as Fuel - Your body is a complex machine that requires the right combination of fuels to keep it running at peak efficiency. You need sustained energy and stamina to meet the varied demands of college life. Good nutrition is essential to doing your best and getting the most out of your course work, studying, extracurricular activities, part-time job, and social life.

Food vs fuel - From Wikipedia - Food vs fuel is the dilemma regarding the risk of diverting farmland or crops for biofuels production in detriment of the food supply on a global scale. Biofuel production has increased in recent years. Some commodities like maize, sugar cane or vegetable oil can be used either as food or to make biofuels.
