''...the result will be a massive expansion of food production and a probably rise in food prices.

So price rises when one expands production? C'mon now. That's surely not what you meant to say.

Probably you intended something more like, ''...the result will be a massive expansion of food production. If this expansion is not large enough to meet the increased demand caused by the subsidised and/or forced usage of ethanol, a secondary result will be a rise in food prices.''

Which, given wheat over $9/bu and corn and beans well higher than 2 years ago, would seem now to be a fait accompli.
