In our adopted village people get the opportunity to cultivate Jatropha. Currently the oil from Jatropha seeds is used for making biodiesel fuel. Decreasing oil production from almost all the oil reseves is attracting the world's eyes towards renewable energy sources. The availability of oil, the key fossil fuel of the last one hundred years, is peaking, ant that production and availability is declining. However, demand on for oil continues to grow. Rising energy consumption and environmental issues has now shifted the focus towards biofuel use, particularly in transportation.Jatropha is being promoted as an easily grown biofuel crop in hundreds of projects throughout India and other countries. The railway line between Mumbai and Delhi is planted with Jatropha and the train itself runs on 15 - 20% biodiesel. Rushing to turn food crops (maize, wheat, sugar, palm oil) into fuel for cars, without first examining the impact on global hunger, would be a recipe for disaster. Jatropha is able to grow on barren land - That is why Jatropha was recently recommended as a biofuels crop for developing countries by UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food.Are you in interested in more details what we do with our adopted village and what it has to do with climate change?
