Marginal to whom?
Now that biofuels have been caught out by increasing evidence of the damage caused by their cultivation on the environment, society and economy, they're heading in a new direction. Off the map.
The New Big Idea in the world of biofuels is that, yes, it might not be such a good idea to transform land used for food into land used for fuel, but biofuels can now be cultivated on *marginal* land. By definition, we'd think, this means land that isn't being used by anyone, and is ripe and waiting to be turned into a source of ethanol.
