Bio-fules and food prices - cars or rice?

The 'developed countries' will be content at screwing their ecology to run their cars - India needs to throw more research dollars on solar and alternative bio-fuels (especially the ones made from husk and other agri-waste).

And we need to stop using good agricultural land in Bengal for industrial manufacturing. India has a 5000 year patrimony in concepts like zero-budget farming. The more I think of the food crisis - the more the solution self-evident. Eating locally grown, organic (preferably vegetarian) food.
