Is the world really short of food? I have a feeling that is a misconception but don't really have proof to back that up. I think it's a similar arguement as "we are running out of space on the planet," which really means some people are running out of space.
Also, how is creating fuel from plants any different than drilling into the ground for fuel? You are simply mining the soil which is also a finite resource. Soil has finite levels of minerals etc. and when you deplete that it takes a long time to regain those nutrients.
