Bioethanol production increases food prices.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Bioethanol production increases food prices?

Partly. One peer-reviewed paper argues bioethanol's grain use is too small to drive prices, while a review and an EPA report say biofuel expansion can contribute to commodity price volatility and food insecurity. The evidence covers the link only partially and points in both directions.
