The first generation biofuel is generated from sugarcane, which produces ethanol, and this eventually results in the elevation of grain prices. There was a controversy regarding the generation of raw material for its application as food or fuel.  

Thus, it should not be competition with the production of food. The bio-fuels are generated with an objective to provide environment of zero carbon emission, that is, should be neutral or carbon negative, and at the same time it should be of low cost in production.

the dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway (dcml) (also known as the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway (pcml)) is a sensory pathway of the central nervous system that conveys sensations of fine touch, vibration, two-point discrimination, and proprioception (position) from the skin and joints.
