Survival Strategies: Food Foraging and Processing in the Timorese Guerrilla Fighters’ Resistance to Indonesian Starvation Policy, 1975–1979
During Indonesia's 24‐year occupation of East Timor, the “faminogenic” policy was a brutal war strategy that deliberately restricted food access, causing widespread suffering and death. From 1977, the Indonesian army systematically destroyed bush camps in liberated zones led by the revolutionary movement for independence, leading to severe hunger and loss of life. The population was forced into controlled areas, leaving Timorese guerrilla fighter…

Lali'an Versus Improved Cook Stoves: How Change Happens in Urban Households in Timor-Leste
Most households in Timor-Leste use lali'an, a traditional open fire method of cooking that has considerable environmental, health, and social impacts. Many of these impacts can be mitigated using simple, low-cost, and more fuel-efficient improved cook stoves (ICSs). Drawing on qualitative data from householders, key informants, and the researcher's observations, this article explores women's experiences of using ICS in Timor-Leste. It outlines th…

Women's adoption of improved cook stoves in Timor-Leste: Challenges and Opportunities
This article examines Timorese women’s decision-making process of adoption of improved cooked stoves, using Slaski and Thurber’s conceptual framework of “motivation, affordability, and level of engagement”, developed by Slaski and Thurber (2009). Despite the obvious, evidence-based socio-economic benefits of using improved cook stoves, the majority of households still persist with their traditional cooking method. This article argues that the lev…
