The United Nations has called for an increase of food production across the world by 50% in the next twenty years. At a global summit of world leaders in Rome, the issue boiled down to a variety of issues, among the most significant was a disagreement between ambassadors and countries like the United States over production of biofuels. While considered a fantastic alternative to fossil fuels, biofuels are said to divert crops for food and convert them to consumer fuels. The UN has discovered a significant probability, possibly near 20-40%, of the rise 50% in global food prices production comes from this crop diversion.
