·     Biofuels offer clear advantages in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, but do they perform better when we look at all the environmental impacts from a life cycle perspective?

Sanganer the world famous printing industry and hand paper industry has totally polluted the water of famous town of Sanganer Jaipur Behind the colourful bedsheets , skirts , and dress material there lies heaps of coloured water which is highly poisonous to the local people. Paper industry causes immense pollution. Three of my students have been working with isolating bacteria from the roots of the plants which can provide some solutions for bioremediation of waste water with only limited success. Pollution rules are there to please someone but who is that someone No adhearance to clean up unit to be established by each industry are adheared to and industries all over are polluting rivers, cities and nations and people are suffering silently.

Its people who can fight and control the climate  change and carbon and pollution levels and not the Governments as they dont create pollution Its greed of the people , greed of the heavy industries to make more and more money unmindful of excess pollution, its greed of man to move in luxury cars , its greed of man to enjoy every bit of natural resources unmindful of their children that creates pollution, environmental , social , cultural and widens the gap between have and have nots. No Government in the world can check pollution by making laws. No amount of money pumped by the rich into poor countries can save pollution unless the humanbeings are taught and they honour and respect environment.

Discussion on R&D needs in Jatropha and need or possibility for an EU role. First Hans-Joerg.Lutzeyer lined out the reasons why the EU might be interested to link or to support R&D activities in Jatropha. Next, a round was made in which participants could comment. The participants were requested to mention their views on networking and R&D topics. Diego Breviarion noted that from preliminary R&D, it is found that the genetic variation of Jatropha is not so wide, however the phenotypes are quite different in character. He suggested that gene expression studies are needed. Since this phenomena is unusual, the EU can be challenged to work on this. A number of participants noted that not only the detoxification of Jatropha cake is an important issue to

1. The Jatropha plant; 2. The Jatropha activities (1987 – 2007) of Mr. Henning; 3. High yielding plants; 4. Ecology Aspects; 5. Economic Aspects; The objective of the presentation of Mr. Henning, besides introducing the plant and worldwide Jatropha activities, was to show how the economic feasibility depends on the selection of high yielding plants for Jatropha plantations. It is very clear, that plants from seeds have a large biological variation and that it is necessary to select high yielding plants and to multiply them vegetatively (by cuttings) to get an economic feasible production rate of fruits per ha. It is also important to consider an optimum spacing of plants, depending on water and nutrient availability and operational aspects, like planting at a

The use of natural products with therapeutic properties is as ancient as human civilization and these natural products are the foundation of preventing and curing diseases. Numerous present day medicines of the western world have been developed based on traditional medicines by studing and recognozing the mechanisms of action and their receptors.
