Excerpted from the Foreword: The first International Conference on Jojoba and Its Uses was held at the University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, June 1 -3, 1972. This meeting, arranged by the University of Arizona, Division of Continuing Education and Office of Arid Lands Studies and sponsored by the Indian Division, Office of Economic Opportunity, included two days devoted to conference papers and discussion and a one -day field trip to Superior, Arizona to see natural stands of jojoba. The purpose of the conference was to bring together scientists and technologists interested in
jojoba and its potentialities for production of useful products. The conference was aimed toward a
full discussion of available information on previous investigations on the plant itself, on chemistry
of the seed, utilization of the wax contained in the seed, problems involved in the collection of seeds
and production under cultivation.
