Agrofuels: Starving People, Fueling Greed

Delves into depth about the issues of growing monocrops for fuel. Beyond widely discussed concerns about using diverting food crops to the production of fuel, so-called “second generation agrofuels” – or cellulose-based fuels – also have detrimental effects on indigenous communities, small farmers and the environment.

This short provides critical evidence and leaves viewers with hope from grassroots communities building real alternatives.
While agrofuels (or with their misleading, green-oriented name, biofuels) grow as a supposed solution to oil and climate crises, the voices of those most immediately affected, displaced farmers and indigenous peoples, are drowned out. Agrofuels contributes to a global movement working to take back peoples’ control over their seeds, food, and lives, by exposing the impacts of the large-scale biofuel industry and inspiring individuals to take action and question the current trends in agriculture.
