This article and the Science article its based on are only looking at ethanol. Saying biofuel is a bit deceptive. Ethanol takes corn/switchgrass/cane and makes the food part into fuel. Biodiesel takes soy/rape seed/bacon drippings oil and makes it into fuel, keeping the actual food for either human or animal consumption. This has a very different effect on land use and food prices. This is the technology that Europe is now pushing, partly because it is a better fuel (you can put it in any diesel car) and because Europe never moved away from diesel to gas.
