"This book integrates policy, technology, and action research
methods in providing new perspectives and tools for Asian village
decision makers and planners who seek more effective uses of energy
in important rural tasks. The cooperative research on which the
book is based was motivated by two policy concerns: the supply
instability and price uncertainty of petroleum-based fuels,
fertilizers, and pesticides; and the environmental depletion
associated with widespread dependency on firewood and farm residues
for cooking fuel. The authors combine the voices and knowledge of
women and men who produce and use rural energy with analyses and
assessments by engineers, economists, agricultural scientists, and
anthropologists to clarify these issues while filling serious
information gaps about the use and substitution of fossil and
biomass fuels. The book focuses initially on cooking fuel required
to meet food and nutrition needs. It demonstrates research methods
linking energy with farming systems to increase agricultural
productivity and to support other income- and employment-generating
activities in rural areas. The authors thereby establish a research
agenda through which rural residents, interacting with specialists
and policymakers, can build upon their own experience and values in
organizing socially and environmentally appropriate rural energy
systems."
