Produktbeschreibung
Roadmap assessed the theoretical potential of various biofuel feedstocks and made recommendations on how to tap this potential. Following the presentation of these findings, a wide range of stakeholders called for additional empirical information and actual experiences with biofuel feedstocks, and in particular with Jatropha. This book attempts to fill this gap through a systematic and comprehensive stocktaking of the experiences and knowledge in Kenya of Jatropha and of two other potential oilseed crops, Castor and Croton.The book provides a detailed description of the agronomy and economics of Castor production, including an economic model of the returns that could be expected from both monoculture and fence plantations of the crop.
