It originated in Central America and grows well in many places in the tropics. Because it fixes nitrogen gas from the air and make its usable to itself, plants and animals. It is extremely valuable to the environments. With its many varieties, Leucaena can produce nutritive forage (especially good for beef and dairy cattle), goats and water buffaloes.
However, Leucaena's greatest potential is for sequestering carbon, and serving as a carbon sink in dedicated plantations. It will also be of great benefit as a carbon sequestering intercropper for farms in the tropic. And after the World Trade bombing, oil supplies may be in short supply. Leucaena can serve as a biomass energy source. Please join with the Leucaena Production Society to promote Leucaena for this life saving approach that may save our very lives by halting global warming.
It has multiple uses and is suitable for firewood, timber, charcoal, fence posts, and rich organic fertilizer.
