This paper looks at the relationship between US biofuel production and access to food. The authors find that expanded US biofuel production will not likely result in more global hunger. They argue however that this is conditional on US biofuels being produced in a sustainable manner and on ensuring fair prices. The paper concludes that, although well-managed US biofuels production could potentially improve international food security, the same conclusion cannot be extrapolated to biofuels production in other parts of the world.
