This is the craziest thing we're doing, says Peter Brabeck, the chairman of Nestle. He is talking about government biofuels targets which require a certain proportion of national energy needs to be met from renewable fuels, most of them biofuels (ie, ethyl alcohol made from crops, usually maize or sugar). The targets are ambitious. Brazil, Japan, Indonesia and the European Union all say biofuels must supply 10% of energydemand for transport by 2020. America aspires to meet 30% of such needs from biofuels by 2030. Because the energy market is worth vastly more than the market for food, even relatively small targets translate into huge demand for crops.
