The development of biofuels is not only related to energy and environment, but also closely related to the global wealth gap and food security. In recent years, with the rapid development of the global economy and the increasing population, the demand for energy is also increasing. At the same time, due to the negative impact of the use of fossil fuels on the environment, more and more people are beginning to consider using biofuels as substitutes. As a kind of biofuel, grain fuel has attracted more and more attention. Food VS Fuel has been a dilemma over the years. But when biofuels are used correctly, society cannot ignore the positive effects it brings, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in environmental and social benefits. Of course, society cannot accept the negative effects of biofuels, such as wasting more fossil energy for refining biofuels, and at the same time, due to grain shortages, world grain prices continue to rise. Due to the exhaustion of non-renewable energy and the requirements of environmental protection, biofuels have gradually become the new favorite of alternative energy sources. As an important source of biofuel, grain has also attracted people's extensive attention. This review will comment on and look forward to the problem of food fuel, including crops that can be used as fuel, the existing problems of food fuel, the related background and development status of biofuels, the impact of food fuel on grain prices, and the summary and prospect.
