Characteristics and socioeconomic performance of neglected and underutilized plant species (NUS) production systems in Burkina Faso
Agricultural systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are often characterized by low agrodiversity and high vulnerability to climate change, both of which can compromise food security and livelihoods. Many neglected and underutilized plant species (NUS) are known for their nutritional value and climate resilience, presenting a potential solution to conserve agrodiversity and contribute to local livelihoods and food security. However, NUS is commonly u…
“The Problem is a Lack of Firewood”
In Africa the population of refugees is increasing, resulting in ‘accidental urban centres’ often in remote arid landscapes. Firewood and charcoal, the main sources of cooking energy on the continent, are in short supply in refugee settings. This research is based on a series of interrelated studies conducted among Kalobeyei refugee and host communities in Northwestern Kenya using mixed methods from social and natural sciences. Firewood is inadeq…
Quality of charcoal produced using micro gasification and how the new cook stove works in rural Kenya
Wood based energy is the main source of cooking and heating fuel in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its use rises as the population increases. Inefficient cook stoves result in fuel wastage and health issues associated with smoke in the kitchen. As users are poor women, they tend not to be consulted on cook stove development, hence the need for participatory development of efficient woodfuel cooking systems. This paper presents the findings of a study carrie…
The potential of agroforestry in the provision of sustainable woodfuel in sub-Saharan Africa
Woodfuel plays a critical role in energy provision in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and is predicted to remain dominant within the energy portfolio of the population in the coming decades. Although current inefficient technologies of production and consumption are associated with negative socio-economic and environmental outcomes, projected charcoal intensive pathways along with urbanization may further accelerate pressures on tree covers. This paper…
Charcoal production and strategies to enhance its sustainability in Kenya
In sub-Saharan Africa, 72 per cent of urban and 98 per cent of rural households use fuelwood for energy. In Kenya use of charcoal in urban areas has risen by 64 per cent in two decades. Despite the charcoal industry providing employment to 500, 000 people and generating over US$427 million that benefits grassroots communities, it has been kept out of the formal economies of this country. This review presents the status of the charcoal industry in…
Ldquo;Two Worlds^|^rdquo; within Rural Community in South African Dual Economy
The homelands of South Africa were the African labour reserves created during the colonial and apartheid eras. The land tenure administration was one of the main tools for the white government to control labour mobilization and influx. As a result of successive interventions, the distorted forms of communal land tenure systems were institutionalized in rural African reserves, adding a stark tenurial duality to contemporary South African economic …
