The mining sector represents an emerging rural economy that provides livelihoods for millions of households worldwide. Approximately 20 million people work in artisanal and small-scale mining accounting for 45% of all ASM activity. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the adverse impacts of abandoned mines on human and eco...

The adoption of the principles of agroecology offers real prospects for the development of agriculture while respecting the natural resources and health of the inhabitants. The transition to agroecology is, particu...
In Africa, access to firewood for cooking and heating is becoming increasingly difficult. Some regions have diminishing forest cover and desertification. In rural areas, collecting firewood is a difficult task, often for

In addition, charcoal production is highly regulated and even banned in some regions or countries. In urban areas, prices of firewood and charcoal have risen sharply in recent decades due to its sca...
