While some folks see biofuels as a source of energy for Haiti, others see it
as a misuse of agricultural resources. At the recent congress of peasants at MPP, Mouvment Peasant Papaye near Hinch another level of consciousness
was apparent.
Why can't Haiti grow FOOD to feed its people? The message from the congress and at a demonstration (when 5,000 walked from MPP's headquarters in Papaye to Hinch) was...Say NO to biofuels! Say YES to local production for local consumption.
In other words...food for Haitian stomachs NOT food for American automobiles.
