Biofuel Policy and Rising Food Price Pressures

The Trump administration just finalized record-high biofuel mandates for 2026–2027, pushing even more U.S. farmland toward fuel instead of food.

This comes as Israel struck three of Iran’s largest steel production facilities (accounting for roughly 60% of the country’s steel output), moves that align with long-standing Absolute Zero decarbonization timelines.

Meanwhile, Russia is halting gasoline exports, Vietnam is accelerating its switch to E10 ethanol, and global food prices are projected to rise 12–18% by the end of 2026–even if the Hormuz crisis ended tomorrow.

Input costs are exploding everywhere: fertilizer, fuel, and freight are making traditional farming economically unviable in multiple countries.

A raw look at how converging shocks are accelerating the technocratic and decarbonization agenda.
