Jatropha

Jatropa is an underutilized, oil-bearing crop producing a seed that can be processed into non-polluting biodiesel. It grows under drought conditions. This publication presents a compilation of information on key practical issues--a brief overview of biofuels, their growth drivers and their potential impacts on poor societies--affecting jatropha for pro-poor development throughout subtropical and tropical areas, based on research reports and ongoing unpublished research material. It is intended as an aid to policies and strategies that recognize the potential of jatropha with regard to development, sustainable rural income and improved livelihoods in developing countries.--Publisher's description.
