Dear friends ,
Will any community survive if mono
culture is introduced and biodiversity is ruptured, where as market
will be controlled by others and local farming system which supports
the lively hood now will be replaced by JATROPHA,let us think
about Mizoram's tribal community after five years .
Jatropha
toxicity is well studied around the world. The reference
literatures are full of information about its toxic effects. At the
website
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Jatropha_curcas.html#To
xicity.The website http://www.inchem.org/documents/pims/plant/jcurc.htm
scientific evidences of Jatropha poisoning.
The senior natives
of Chhattisgarh are also aware of its harmful effects. They explain
its effects in simple words'Ek Beeja Se Pet Saf Hothe, Du Se Au, Teen
Se Aspatal aur Char Se Upar' (One seed clears the motion, two results
in more, three takes to hospital and four to God).

Mizoram aims to become largest
Jatropha grower
AIZAWL, Oct 8 Agriculture Minister H Rammawi has
expressed hope that Mizoram can be the largest Jatropha producing
state in the country.
We will try to make Mizoram the largest Jatropha producing state in
India. This is possible with our climate which is perfect for the
oil-bearing plant and our large area of arable land.
Mizo farmers can use the plant to substitute it for rice grown
according to traditional shifting jhum cultivation, the minister
told officials of the D1 Oils India (Private) Limited.
On invitation from the state Agriculture minister, Steve Doury, a
London-based reg! ional director and Surju Singh, chairman and
managing director of D1 Oils India (P) Limited had a meeting with the
state Horticulture officials and Mizoram Intodelhna (self-sufficiency)
Project officials on their arrival here recently.
The states Horticulture department is tying up with the D1 Oils
India company on a buy-back policy on produce.
According to the MoU, the company will take up Jatropha cultivation
in Mizoram in one lakh hectare from the next kharif season. The
company will provide seeds and buy back the produce, Samuel
Rosanglura, director of Horticulture said today. The Horticulture
department has already introduced Jatropha plantation under the
Cengtral scheme of Horticulture Mission. It has distributed 600
quintals of Jatropha seeds to rural farmers this year. http://www.assamtribune.com
