jatropha Biodiesal it is the new trend

And the PDR Exchange will be involved.

Since the two-thirds of the people in the developing world who derive their incomes from agriculture and jatropha based biodiesel has enormous potential to change their situation for the better and poverty can be broken by jatropha Cultivation as this dedicated crop has a huge potential for replication world -wide, improving the livelihood of many more.

Jatropha: Its Description and Ecological Qualities

Africa, Seeds and Biofuel will highlight Jatropha, a biofuel source with great potential that is now just

beginning to be spotlighted; this plant is seen by many in scientific and industrial circles as both a conduit for cutting

global dependence on fossil fuels and an emerging cash crop that can boost rural incomes and the economy as well

as to alleviate high fuel costs associated with transport systems and

power production in poor countries, particularly African ones.

Linguistically, Jatropha (scientific name Jatropha curcas, family euphorbia)

is derived from the Greek ‘jatros’ (doctor) and ‘trophe’ (food or nutrition),

which implies medicinal uses; the genus Jatropha contains approximately

170 known species (Jatropha-Plant Profile, n.d., Introduction section,

para. 1; The Father of Jatropha System, n.d., Section 2-Description of the
plant, distribution, ecology). The tree is thought by many scientists
Jatropha’s Use in Products, Medicine, and Biofuel Production

The harnessing process for Jatropha oil is environmentally safe and cost-effective; moreover, the seed oil,

once refined, can be used as fuel for transport systems and power. Other uses and by-products from the plant

include soap, glycerine, insecticide, candles, and an assortment of medicinal cures such as malaria, constipation,

piles, dropsy, and snakebite poisoning, etc. (Mkoka & Shanahan, 2005, Introduction Section, para. 2); (Ogwang,

2006, Introduction Section, para. 7-9, 16). Because of their shallow spreading root system, Jatropha trees reduce

soil erosion and can be useful in reclaiming eroded land; additionally, their shed leaves enhance earthworm activity in

the soil around their root-zones, leading to soil fertility improvement and the growth of food crops in close proximity
(Plant Profile, n.d., Ecological Requirements, para. 1).
Conclusion: A Sociological Perspective and Analysis

Jatropha biofuel has the potential to assist in any nation’s development because of its utility in giving mobile

operators direct access to a sustainable power supply (Walko, 2006, para. 6); anthropologists and sociologists such

as James Henslin have said: “technology sets the framework for a group’s nonmaterial culture” (Henslin, 2007, p.58).

If a culture’s technology changes so do people’s ways of thinking and how they relate to one another. In light of

this, the implementation of widespread biofuel (and other green fuel) use (particularly into non-industrialized nations)

must be tempered with sociological sensitivity, analysis, and policy safeguards such that these new catalysts for

industrialization do not generate negative (perhaps catastrophic) social consequences as a by-product, e.g. a

“materialism above morality” attitude amongst the masses, an uncaring & unfriendly society, greed, “super

materialism” mentality, corporate worker exploitation (i.e., no employment benefits, no health care packages, no

vacation time, hazardous working conditions, creation of pseudo 19th century “sweat shop” environments),

involuntary/forced removal of ethnic groups from indigenous lands, and many other ills. Technology inevitably

changes people’s attitudes, habits, and views in a given society, but must not be allowed to proliferate at the

expense of the indigenous social ideas and moral fabric. Improved health, socioeconomic status and the overall
Three enchanced Lifestyle
enhanced quality of life for a nation’s masses should be the major objectives for use of mass societal technologies

Four the JATROPHA PLANT

Jatropha curcus is a drought-resistant perennial, growing well in marginal/poor soil. It is easy to establish, grows relatively quickly and lives, producing seeds for 50 years.



Jatropha the wonder plant produces seeds with an oil content of 37%. The oil can be combusted as fuel without being refined. It burns with clear smoke-free flame, tested successfully as fuel for simple diesel engine. The by-products are press cake a good organic fertilizer, oil contains also insecticide.



It is found to be growing in many parts of the country, rugged in nature and can survive with minimum inputs and easy to propagate.
