In the article linked to below, note that automobile drivers and their demand for sustainable fuels are "driving" the market towards distilled grains as fuels. Many of the world's poorest humans rely on grains as staples in their food supply, and the pressure on world grain supplies will impact poor humans disproportionately, but the cost of grain-fed meats will rise, too.
How much additional wildland will be put into grain production, at the cost of habitat for wild flora and fauna? How many forests will be cut down? How sustainable can this transition be? What is the relationship between saving greenhouse gases by switching fuels to the ecological cost of deforestation and thus removing natural systems for carbon dioxide removal?
