Eco Company goes halfway around the world to South India. There, two Pleasanton, California, teens have started a program to replace harmful tobacco farming with cultivation of the sustainable Jatropha plant to help the poverty stricken area and to reduce deforestation at the same time. The fruit from the Jatropha plant produces oil that can be used to make biofuel. It is an amazing story about Adarsha Shivakumar and his sister Apoorva Rangan gaining the trust of the Indian farmers, and the beginning of a successful transformation.
Art, thanks for your comment & question. We are not scientists or experts on the process of exchanging organic plants into an organic fuel. We simply reported on the inspiration and effort from these teens to take on a project to replace tobacco farming with the farming of a renewable energy source.
There are over 170 species of Jatropha plants. The most common used for oil for bio diesel is Jatropha Curcus, most notable grown in Mexico but also in India.
