About JANEEMO

Three tree species, Jatropha, Neem and Moringa, collectively known as JANEEMO, are being grown by farmers on marginal lands and as living fences around households and fields.

The trees all have multiple uses.  Their oil-rich seeds can be processed to produce locally used biofuels for lamps, stoves and generators, or turned into soap.  

The residue from this process can be used to produce biogas for cooking and then finally as an agricultural fertiliser.  In addition, extracts from the Neem and Moringa trees have important nutritional as well as medicinal uses.
