Lula, the president of Federative Republic of Brazil defends Brazil’s biofuel production in the face of criticism that it is worsening the food crisis. He insisted: « Biofuels are not the villain menacing food security in poor countries. « It is frightening to see attempts to draw a cause-and-effect relationship between biofuels and the rise in food prices. » And with a swipe at Europe he said: « It offends me to see fingers pointed against clean energy from biofuels, fingers soiled with oil and coal. »
