Biofuels are mostly made from edible crop and plants. The amount of land needed may not suffice if it becomes a main source of fuel. Farmers, in order to get more money, may use land meant for food for biofuel ingredients; this can cause the main dilemma of biofuels which is inflation, when prices of somethings increase due to the demand or value of the product (Dictionary.com). However, some may say that Second Generation and Third Generation can be the solution.

The production of biofuels can emit a harmful toxin, nitrous oxide, which can be able to cause the greenhouse effect, something we want to stop.
The transition from gasoline to biofuels can take much energy and time which can cause many people to have to abandon their gasoline-vehicles for new, more expensive ones.
Some researchers believe that the production of biofuels uses much more energy than the end product replaces. They believe they are doing too much when the outcome doesn't redeem them in terms of energy.
The production of biofuels may cause the habitat and biodiversity rates of different animals and organisms to be threatened due to the use of crops and plants. (green world investor).
