Jatropha Workshops
Presenting: “The Jatropha Practioner’s Best Method For Getting ‘How-To-REALLY-Grow Jatropha’ Questions Answered By One Of Jatropha’s Most Respected and Hard-Working Jatropha Cultivation Consultants…”
From: The JatrophaWorld 2008 Team
To: Jatropha Planters and Jatropha Project Developers who seek knowledge of ESSENTIAL Planting Practices
Dear Jatropha Practitioner,
In our recently concluded JatrophaWorld Miami 2008 conference, which saw over 600 delegates from 52 countries, many new Jatropha practitioners were tired at the lack of PRACTICAL information on “HOW TO REALLY GROW JATROPHA”. The reality is that large scale Jatropha cultivation can only be achieved with proper training complimented with demonstration.
Typical of the JatrophaWorld 2008 Method, we are going all out in giving PRACTICAL answers for Jatropha questions with an intensive Jatropha Planting Training Workshop Series…
The Jatropha Plantation Best Practices Workshop series guarantees FOCUSED LEARNING & TRAINING for Jatropha Practioners.
To be held in Miami on 6-7 November and in Mexico City on 11-12 November (with simultaneous translation into Spanish)), the series will offer Jatropha developers an opportunity to dramatically reshape their Jatropha Planting Activity
The Jatropha Plantation and Best Practices Workshop will provide PRACTICAL Solutions to problems being faced by Jatropha planters worldwide, as they compare KEY planting practices to adapt for local Jatropha planting conditions.
Naturally, we found one of the best Jatropha experts to share insights into effective Jatropha Cultivation. (Or, we wouldn’t be presenting this Jatropha Production & Applications workshop…)

The Jatropha Plantation Best Practices Workshop adheres to the JatrophaWorld 2008 philosophy of facilitating communication between experts, government officials, investors, entrepreneurs and scientists involved in Jatropha and promoting the exchange of ideas and the growth of the industry.
In addition to Dr. Behl’s customized expertise, participants will also be able to hear from local & regional Jatropha players, as well as government officials on the specific local issues that govern Jatropha investments on the ground.
At the Jatropha Plantation and Best Practices Workshop, participants will have an excellent opportunity to compliment their knowledge of the crop with the wisdom of their fellow investors and the information from local officials, thus complimenting & completing their Jatropha learning!
