Dear Friends

 

Is it true that in Kenya there has been some shift to soaking beans (from
lengthy boiling)? Who can tell us about that and how it was accomplished?

 

Regards

Crispin

Soaking beans and hay box is a good idea, used for 100 of years around the
world, but to change the way of cooking for those not used to it, is a
difficult task to solve from outside. If there is a real problem at the
local society connected to household energy, there has to be a discussion by
all parts involved: end users, household energy dealers, stove producers,
forest and agriculture authorities and local health and politicians. A
discussion has to take place. What are the priorities: Environment, health,
economy or jobs? If some changes are needed, get all parts involved in the
process of changing. Who will be the loser and who will be the winner? If
nobody feels there is a need of changes, there is nothing you can do. If
there is a need of changes there is a lot we can do.

Best regards Paal W
