Oxfam, a UK aid charity (both aid & charity necessary? Or should it be charity aid?) warn that Europe's demand for 10% of all transport fuels to come from plants by the year 2020 could harm the worlds poorest people. Oxfam warns that poor farmers have a risk of being forced off of their land to make room for industrial farmers.
The European Commission says it is working to make sure its bio fuel policy does not backfire. ".. It is unacceptable that poor people in developing countries should bear the cost of questionable attempts to cut emissions in Europe," advices Robert Bailey, a policy advisor at Oxfam. Source.
