Sustainable Oil Production: Jatropha vs. Corn from a Christian Perspective

This presentation outlines a comprehensive project that explores oil extraction and bio-fuel generation from Jatropha and corn, considering both economic opportunities and environmental stewardship. It addresses various constraints and challenges, such as yield optimizations and feasibility for small and large-scale operations, particularly for impoverished farmers. With an emphasis on a Christian perspective, the project aims to promote sustainable practices while engaging with growers and optimizing processes. We will discuss completed tasks and next steps for our research initiative.
