Predictions are that global demand for biofuels will hit 172 billion litres by 2020, up from 81 billion litres in 2008.5 At current production levels, that would mean an additional 40 million hectares of land would have to be converted to growing crops for biofuel.6 Put another way, it would require 1096 land grabs the size of the Addax Bioenergy project in Sierra Leone.7
