The study by Henky Widjaja focuses on the implementation of jatropha projects in South Sulawesi, which have become partly viewed as an alternative way to meet the rising demand for oil. The research shows the failure of these projects, which sometimes resemble a hype more than a reality. The spread of jatropha in South Sulawesi is driven by the specific characteristics of the region and by the economic and social interests of the various actors involved. At the same time, it points out that earlier examples of the implementation of new crops sometimes also took a long time to become successful, while in other cases, so-called ‘failed’ projects were successful in other ways than expected. opensciencemeeting.org/junior-scientist-symposium-sc-and-h/
