| dc.description.abstract | This publication presents a compilation of information on key practical issues affecting jatropha for pro-poor development. The information, presented by specialists from around the world at the International Consultation on Pro- Poor Jatropha Development held in Rome, Italy in April 2008, is based on the knowledge available from research reports and ongoing unpublished research material. This document provides a brief overview of biofuels, their growth drivers and their potential impacts on poor societies. It also summarizes the most recent data on the cultivation, seed harvesting, processing, uses and genetic improvement of jatropha, and gives an overview of experiences with jatropha production from case studies in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. | |
