Myth. Farmers can plant Jatropha in Badi (Homestead or kitchen Garden)
for biodiesel production.
Fact. As we know Jatropha is poisonous plant and harmful to
humanbeings specially to children, livestock and other animals. Hence
it must be planted far from human population. Native Indian people are
well aware of its toxic nature and therefore it is always planted far
from home. There is no such limitation with indigenous biodiesel
sources. Many grow in Badi as trees and as weeds in crop fields and
wastelands.
