General info about this Superstructure

• Biofrec on the Superstruct site
  

Biofrec aims to analyze the influence that biofuel has exerced upon the economy, automobilistic industry,food industry, and ecology in both global and local scales.
It's related mainly to the Power Struggle and to the Ravenous Superthreats.

Maps

Crop Locations

We need to track which areas are being used to produce biofuel, and study the impacts.
