Rosa Xol Pá lives in Northern Guatemala where she has a small plot of land to grow corn. Her plot lies right in the middle of a palm plantation, which is used to produce palm oil that is increasingly being used as a biofuel to power cars in Western countries. Much of her community’s land has already been bought up to make way for palm plantations and she fears for their future, wondering how they’ll survive without access to land, the forest and the water they depend on. Targets set by the UK and Europe are encouraging a rush to grow biofuel crops which is driving up food prices and pushing people in poor countries off their land on an alarming scale.
