Assessing opportunities and constraints for biofuel development in sub-Saharan Africa
Sustainable biofuel production should provide opportunities for sub-Saharan African countries and their inhabitants, especially in impoverished rural areas. Biofuel feedstock production has the potential to bring job opportunities and earnings, but this should not be at the cost of existing livelihoods and the local environment. Biofuels also have the potential to increase energy security in these countries for both transportation and household needs. Sub-Saharan African biofuel feedstock production projects can be classified into 4 distinct models based on production scales (small- versus large-scale farm/plantations) and on the intended use of the biofuel (local versus national). The first...
Nana's BIG Storybook
This is a collection of 3 choice children's stories, some hand-done illustrations and clever rhymes any child would love this book. All done by the talented storyteller, writer and illustrator Sheila von Maltitz. These stories are all straight from the pages of the Bible, telling what the Author imagined might be the behind scenes action from the animals perspectives. These animals God chose to use for His divine purposes who made a decision to obey and follow Jesus as He lead them on to accomplish miraculous things.
Sustainability Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa I
The aim of this 2-volume book is to highlight how Sustainability Science approaches can help solve some of the pervasive challenges that Africa faces. The volumes collect a number of local case studies throughout Africa that adopt transdisciplinary and problem-oriented research approaches using methodologies from the natural and the social sciences. These are put into perspective with chapters that introduce key sustainability challenges such using a regional focus. Through this multi-scale and inter/transdisciplinary approach the proposed volume will provide an authoritative source that will pack in a single volume a large amount of information on how Sustainability Science approaches sustainability challenges in African contexts. While there have been general books about sustainability science, none has had a strong African focus. As a result the 2-volume set fills a major gap in the Sustainability Science scholarship. This volume sets the stage for the series. Part I introduces key sustainability challenges in Africa. Parts II‐III highlights specific case studies related to these challenges from West and Central Africa.
Socioeconomic and Environmental Impacts of Biofuels
A comprehensive, multidisciplinary volume on biofuels in developing countries for academics, practitioners and policy makers.
A review of environmental issues in the context of biofuel sustainability frameworks
With the rapid growth of biofuel production and consumption and the proliferation of policy decisions supporting this expansion, concerns about the biofuel sectors environmental and social impacts are increasing. Consequently, a range of actors among them governments, multilateral institutions, nongovernmental organisations and multistakeholder industry groups have created sustainability frameworks, some mandatory, others voluntary. This report examines how the most developed sustainability frameworks for feedstock production (including biofuels) address key environmental issues. It identifies critical gaps in these frameworks and proposes areas for improvement. The main finding is t...
