Development with communities

By working together with communities that take the initiative to try to improve their situation, we seek to establish, long-term, sustainable developments. We aim to help other rural projects, besides Jatropha.

Current Projects

• - Development of Improved varieties of Jatropha.
• - Intercropping
• - Oil expelling
• - Bee keeping and honey production

Proposed Projects

• - Construction of a bridge over a river
• - Soap manufacturing
• - Press cake, and Biochar.

Projects such as these can reduce poverty and illness. Many rural villages have suffered from a lack of jobs. Many young people have drifted to the urban centres to look for work.

Sustainable Non-food Bio-oils Supply Chains

Jatropha Africa is engaged with partner organizations to spread know how about farming techniques. We are collaborating with the University of Greenwich and other European and African research centres to deliver programmes to develop sustainable non-food biofuels.
