DESCRIPTION:Cambridge Bioenergy Initiative / Nuffield Council on Bioethics
  event:\n\nIf you have missed the industry-focused discussion event on 1 S
 ept\, here is another opportunity to hear and discuss the outcomes of the 
 Nuffield Report:\n\nTo achieve sustainable economic growth\, global societ
 y needs to wean itself off fossil resources. This in turn puts increased p
 ressure on available biomass\, land and water. In the rush for resources\,
  ethical considerations are easily overlooked or given a low priority.\n\n
 This April the Nuffield Council on Bioethics published its report on the e
 thical issues surrounding biofuels (Biofuels: ethical issues).The report\,
  which includes recommendations for policy and practice\,  highlights that
  its conclusions are also applicable to other sectors which build on bioma
 ss as a key resource.\n\nVarsha Jagadesham will be discussing the findings
  of the Council's report with the audience.  The report can be downloaded 
 from http://www.nuffieldbioethics.org/biofuels-0.
