HALL* About 13% of the world's primary energy is derived from biomass, a term which includes wood fuel, Predominant use is in the rural and poor urban areas of developing countries which derive about 43% of their energy from biomass. The over-use and under-supply of biomass fuels is having serious long-term consequences which will not readily disappear and are more serious than lack of food...

Where it was technically possible to use such fuels the methods previously used had been discontinued or forgotten. These factors stimulated massive research and development programmes worldwide. A combination of raw material availability, energy demand and political considerations, matched against international pressures and constraints, eventually determines the overall national policy towards biomass energy...

Against considerable odds and without any commercial assistance Bob Harries Engineering Ltd of Thika, Kenya, has established a successful windpump manufacturing facility. About 150 Kijitos have been built and sold. The U K s Overseas Development Administration (ODA) funded a significant part of the development of the IT windpump, of which the Kijito is a variant, and ODA is currently funding a monitoringand evaluation programme." Developing the windpump market is being helped by the publication of a handbook which assists potential pump purchasers to decide when it is appropriate to use windpumps...

The Introducer identified 19 possible constraints and has structured them in the form of a mental pathway. This shows the various decision stages that farmers have to reach before they are able to plant and successfully manage trees for fuelwood (and perhaps for other uses too). This mental pathway is shown in Fig. 2. Only if the farmer is able to overcome all these potential constraints willhe or she be able to progress down the mental pathway and successfully adopt farm forestry...
