Overview

Against a global backdrop of climate change, widespread food insecurity, deforestation and forest degradation, this paper highlights the role of sustainable woodfuel in improving food security. It provides insights into how this role can be strengthened at all stages of production, trade and use, particularly for the many vulnerable groups who depend on woodfuel. With adequate policy and legal frameworks in place, woodfuel production and harvesting can be sustainable and serve as a major source of green energy. In addition, the widespread availability of woodfuel, and enormous market for it, present opportunities for employment and for sustainable value chains.
