Biofuels produced from the crop jatropha may be competing with food production for land and water, according to a new report released by two Friends of the Earth groups as the Jatropha World Summit begins in Ghana. The report – “Jatropha – wonder crop?” – investigates claims made by UK biofuels company D1 Oils about jatropha.
