US Department of Agriculture figures reveal that a quarter of the US cereals grown last year went for biofuel, turning cheap food into expensive fuel.
A paper on the 2007-08 food crisis by the World Bank Development Prospect Group, leaked in 2008, said US and EU biofuel production was responsible for 70 to 75 per cent of the food price rises, against 3 per cent admitted by the USDA.
