The global appetite for biofuels

Given that biofuels are high up on the agenda of local rural development here in Ireland you might be interested that Comhlamh's First Wednesday Debates are back!

The debates kick off on Wednesday November 7th with: 'The Global Appetite for Bio Fuels...Is it Food or Fuel?'

Speakers and panel will include David Korowicz, Feasta (The Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability), Bernard Rice, Teagasc and the Irish Bioenergy Association.

So get along and find out if it's a healthy appetite or an appetite for destruction!

The series of debates on development related issues will be held on the first Wednesday of each month from 6.15 - 7.45pm at Bewley's Café Theatre (Grafton Street). Further information at 01-478 3490 or deirdre@comhlamh.org or paul@comhlamh.org. This event is partly funded by Irish Aid.
