Is there a more legible copy of the slide set about charcoal?
Some of it would be useful information in other presentations.
And other slides leave questions in mind about what is actually
being shown.<br>

Thanks for sharing, but if indeed this is fully the case, I
wonder why the reduction of deforestation features so heavily
on most cookstove marketing pitches. (even mine sometimes!)

<div>Further interesting reading that somewhat supports this is
a very good presentation done by ICRAF recently, that is aptly
titled, "What Happened to the Charcoal Crisis" <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/agroforestry/miyuki-iiyamaicrafcharcoal-review2013" target="_blank">http://www.slideshare.net/agroforestry/miyuki-iiyamaicrafcharcoal-review2013</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is a very good systematic review of many other woodfuel
papers in East Africa. It seems to be that on farm woodfuel is
becoming more and more of income generating wood energy
source.</div>

All the best, </div>

Dear all,<br>
Just to contribute on the deforestation discussion. A dated
(1997) by<br>
excellent resource by the FAO, which concluded that
deforestation<br>
occurs mainly as a result of pressures for agricultural
land, logging,<br>
and national infrastructure projects, not for cooking.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.fao.org/docrep/w7744e/w7744e06.htm" target="_blank">http://www.fao.org/docrep/w7744e/w7744e06.htm</a><br>
<br>
Of course, I applaud efforts to source cleaner, more
sustainable fuel.<br>
Perhaps these should be grounded in location specific
challenges (i.e.<br>
community nurseries), not distorted by general mythologies
associated<br>
with global problems and magic bullets.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Samer<br>
