Unfortunately, when I was writing this article, I didn't really have any more information than what I posted and linked to: if any other readers have heard anything else, please do post them in the comments! SM,

A little more research on this article may have produced a fuller content. I wonder if the crops planted are earmarked more for fuel than food production. It is, indeed, very important that the well being of the peoples and their environment be a major consideration of any project which utilizes an area's resources. A link to Daewoo International would be a good idea here so that people could ask questions and register their concerns with the company. When written with respect and intelligence companies do consider them. Daewoo is a very large corporation, mostly dealing in cars, shipbuilding and marine engineering. The company has had its ups and downs over the past years. It has invested in a number of projects in Europe and America, including a 2007 $3.7 billion R&D partnership with General Motors in the U.S. A chance to be a partner in more environmentally responsible projects is a hot idea right now. Daewoo's fortunes could improve if encouraged to do it right. The bottom line of course is financial public investment. Increasingly, environmentally responsible companies are seeing an increase in investment currencies coming their way.
