In a new blog post, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) systematically debunks a recent World Resources Institute (WRI) paper, authored by Tim Searchinger, about the future impacts of bioenergy on land use, food markets, and climate change. RFA cites recent academic literature and real-world data that dispute a number of the WRI paper’s misguided assertions. RFA also highlights the similarities between the thesis of the new WRI paper and the disproven Searchinger theories first posited in 2008.
