[Oil Sands Truth: Shut down the Tar Sands - social and environmental impacts of tar sands heavy oil projects across North America]

>From the article below: "Experts on agro-economics say biofuels production is  
largely responsible for the current food shortages and soaring prices. The crisis,  
according to them, is not going to end unless the rich countries change their energy  
consumption patterns. 

If rich nations stopped biofuels production this year, it would lead to a price  
decline in corn by about 20 percent and wheat by about 10 percent within the next  
two years, according to the International Food Policy Research Institute, a think  
tank in Washington."
