Evaluation of the energy crop Jatropha curcas as a mean to promote renewable and sustainable energy for the Mediterranean region (JatroMed)

JatroMed is a 4-year demonstration project involving five countries from the Mediterranean region: Greece (project coordinator), Italy, Egypt, Morocco and Algeria. Eight Jatropha curcas L. genotypes collected over the world have been established in depressed rural areas of the North African partner countries in order to introduce this crop and the profits from its cultivation to local farmers and population. The main scope of JatroMed is to reinforce and upgrade the natural and socioeconomic conditions of the target areas and to give local populations the opportunity to produce sustainable energy to cover their needs.
