Partners for Euro-African Green Energy, or PANGEA, links together North and South in a new way. PANGEA works to encourage biofuel production in Africa as a way to promote sustainable economic development using what Africa does best—agriculture. By adding the technology of Brazil, India and others to the mix, agriculture becomes something that Europe needs—sustainably produced biofuels.
BRUSSELS, Belgium (July 4, 2008)
PANGEA continues to be astounded by the misconception that all biofuels are the same and that they all lead toward the current food crisis.
In a leaked report on biofuels today, the UK's Guardian newspaper claims a new World Bank report puts 75% of the blame for increased food prices on biofuel production yet neither the Guardian nor the information it published from the report differentiates biofuels made from food crops and those made from non-food crops.

who pretends to speak on behalf of the world’s poor, can so blatantly dismiss biofuels when
they offer the developing world the first opportunity in decades—if not ever—to build a
sustainable industry that would give them access to added value markets while increasing food
and fuel security.
