Hi everyone, I wonder if we'll be able to improve water management enough so we can produce such enormous required amount of food and biofuel. Have you got any information about water and energy consumption to produce biofuel. I life in spain and here there are some investment groups leasing lands to produce biofuel and food, but I'd like to know if that investment are logics from the water and carbon footprint. Have a good day and enjoy life.
