    I’m a young and aspiring Jatropha grower and i’ve been a bit sceptical on wether to invet in this cause. this jatropha idea was just recently introduced in my country and a lot of people have not yet established whether or not its a viable business. i have taken my time to research more on it on the internet and i should say, these seminars really give proper insight for people like myself, and knowing that such big people like Dr Jansen realise and support the viability of Jatropha as a future energy source gives people like myself, who are in developing countries, the confidence to try and bring a change to our societies. Please i would love to have a mentor, can you please give me some adresses? i look forward to jatropha. keep up the good work!
