Moringa Talk With Dipankar

The plantation of trees alone cannot help in combating the Climate change fully. It is a fact. Trees absorb CO2 emissions during the process of Photosynthesis to in which they use sunlight to convert that CO2 into the sugars and energy they need to grow. Planting tree, therefore, can help to mitigate the climate change breakdown as they absorb CO2 emissions in their trunk, leaves, roots, soil. However, the type of trees we plant also matter in terms of rate of absorption of CO2 as all the trees do not equally absorb the CO2 with the same rate. One such plant/tree is moringa (scientifically moringa oleifera). As per a Japanese study by the scientists (Villafuerte, and Villafuerte-Abonal), moringa is capable of absorbing 20 times more carbon emissions than normal vegetations and 50 times more than Japanese Cedar plants.
