Also biofuels have a positive effect on the environment such as helping clear the earths atmosphere. People who are biased to biofuel should review their facts before finally stating their opinion. Plus biofuels can also be used as an alternate fuel to fossil fuels.
      
        Food production becomes less stressed since biofuels can be farmed in other areas that do not require productive farmland. Therefore biofuels could be grown and distributed without impacting the food industry. Relieving crops where it can grow simple and smooth.                        

      Biofuels can reduce CO2 emissions through absorbing CO2 through absorbing it and being able to store it.Although it takes time to for this process to occur it is still effective at repaying carbon debt.This way in the future biofuels could replacing fossil fuels therefore reducing CO2 emissions and keeping a cleaner atnosphere.

Pesticides

Pesticides
Pesticides are used to kill certain parasites such as insects or weeds which could keep the crop safe and well but the effects of pesticides to other areas have negative effect. When irrigating crops pesticides are washed off and make their way to a nearby river which then could cause harm and decrease populations of its inhabitants that is they need to be disposed of properly. Plus their role in the green revolution is protect crops while they are ready to be plucked out.
