CHANDRASEKARAN, Kirtana. FOE International food sovereignty coordinator on partial EU biofuel restriction: "biofuel crops cripple their ability to feed the world, compete for the land that provides their livelihood, and for the water that sustains us”

Kirtana Chandrasekaran (Friends of the Earth International’s food sovereignty coordinator) on EU vote to limit biofuel use (2015): “While the EU has not gone far enough to stop the irresponsible use of food crops for car fuel, this new law acknowledges a reality that small-scale food producers worldwide know – that biofuel crops cripple their ability to feed the world, compete for the land that provides their livelihood, and for the water that sustains us” (Kirtana Chandrasekaran quoted in Sean Buchanan, “European Biofuel Bubble Bursts”, Countercurrents, 5 May, 2015: http://www.countercurrents.org/buchanan050515.htm ).
