Cuts in Ethanol Subsidies: Using fields to grow corn for ethanol production diverts the livestock-feed supply and occupies valuable land that could be used to grow food for humans. Along with low crop yields around the world and increased demand from China, it contributes to rising food prices. Under the new Farm Bill, corn-based ethanol producers may see their tax credit fall as much as 6 cents per gallon, down to 45 cents. The bill would instead offer a $1-per-gallon subsidy to producers of cellulosic ethanol, made from corn stalks, switchgrass and wood chips, which studies...
...think from an artistic side, collaboration is something that I really feed off of and one of the reasons my thesis took the path it did,” Miller says...
...somehow lost your fortune, how would you earn it back?[Laughs] I think that my fortune is my ability to feed so many people's support systems and help people realize their dreams.

I don't know what I would do, I mean my fortune is my ability to sit still in the morning and also to move out of stillness sometimes...
...Europe of subsidizing the diversion of food crops to produce biofuels like corn-based ethanol. The third is climate change; take the recent droughts in Australia and Europe, which cut the global production of grain in 2005 and '06. The fourth is the growing global demand for food and feed grains brought on by swelling populations and incomes. In short, rising demand has hit a limited supply, with the poor taking the hardest blow...
Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of subsidizing the conversion of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed subsidy of 51 per gal. of ethanol to divert corn from the food and feed-grain supply. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods--tree crops (like palm oil), grasses and wood products--but there's no case for doling out subsidies to put the world's dinner into the gas tank...
