Jonathon Martin Prof. Erikson Group Orientation Feb 22, 2010 Biodiesel from Jatropha The recent push for alternative fuels has provided opportunities for a wide variety of research in the area of biofuels. Countries all over the world are looking for cheap sustainable alternatives to petroleum based fuels as oil prices continue to rise. This surge in interest of biofuels has provided the incentive necessary for businesses to begin producing biofuels from many different products. However, many of the feedstock varieties are also staple food items such as corn, soybeans, or peanuts (Sahoo & Das, 2009). This means that demands for fuel production increase food costs as well. Because of this issue, increasing levels of research have been directed toward developing non-edible feedstocks for biofuels. Jatropha curcas has emerged as one possible solution to this dilemma. Jatropha has several key characteristics that make it incredibly attractive as a fuel source for biodiesel. The

Biodiesel as a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Option1 A research report written by Michael Delucchi of the University of California – Davis suggests that the use of biofuels would increase greenhouse gas emissions as land is converted from forests, wetland and conservation reserve acres to grow more corn and soybeans. Some of these research results were also reported in a 2/18/04 Oxy-fuel News article written by Jack Peckham. Land Use Delucchi’s greenhouse gas emissions evaluation of biofuels (biodiesel and ethanol) is largely based on the assumption that increases in feedstocks for ethanol and biodiesel will occur on “new” (not-otherwise-cultivated) land. In the United States, Delucchi assumes that the displaced land will be a mix mainly of CRP, pasture, fallow, and crops. However, information in the latest USDA land use survey would indicate otherwise. From 1982 through 1997 there was a decline in cropland, while conservation reserve program (CRP) and forest land increased. That is a

EM 9032 • September 2011 An Educator’s Guide to Vegetable Gardening Weston Miller, Beret Halverson, and Gail Langellotto G ardening is a powerful way to teach many important topics including basic food-growing skills, health and nutrition, environmental science, and more. Gardens provide opportunities for hands-on learning in a variety of subjects across a range of grade levels (see sidebar, page 2), but it can be intimidating to plan, install, and maintain an educational garden. This publication provides a basic introduction to growing produce in an outdoor garden and includes information on recommended plants and a garden calendar. For more detailed information on any aspect of outdoor gardening, contact your local Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Master Gardener Program (http://extension. oregonstate. edu/mg/). A Full-Circle Approach to Educational Gardens Using a holistic, full-circle approach in an educational garden allows you to demonstrate ecological processes that f

Bio-diesel from Jatropha India has a landmass of 325 million hectares out of which 65 million is wasteland. These areas are scattered and fragile and suffer from prolonged droughts. Due to de-forestation soil becomes susceptible to erosion resulting in decreasing top soil and lowering of ground water level. These wastelands could be economically utilised by cultivating species like Jatropha, Curcus or Salvadora for bio-diesel production as an economic activity. The Jatropha Curcus (L) or physic nut is a drought resistant and multipurpose small free not grazed by animals. Althrough a native of tropical (South) America, it thrives well in Africa and Asia (India as well). It grows well in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world having low rainfall and problematic soils. Being drought resistant it can help to reclaim crowded areas and could be grown as boundry fence/hedge to augment income. Tribals of Baster have been using seeds of Jatropha as a torch by buring seeds. Due
