Environmentally, Jatropha is drought-resistant and can grow on marginal land, reducing competition with food crops. However, large-scale monocultures may cause deforestation, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss. Socio-economically, Jatropha offers employment and energy access in rural areas but has had mixed results due to low yield under poor conditions and market volatility. Sustainable practices and community ownership models improve outcomes. Technologies like GlobeCore USB support local, scalable biodiesel production, making Jatropha more viable as a regional energy crop.
