| A survey of the types of fuelwood used by households in one rural locality in Kenya showed considerable discrepancy between women's stated preferences and the species they actually used. The author argued that choice of fuelwood was determined primarily by accessibility. Women tended to collect species found close to their homes and fields rather than more desirable species from further away, because the amount of time they could devote to collecting fuel was strictly limited by other demands on their labour. Tree planting for fuel was unknown. Most people were reluctant to plant trees at all because of competing uses for arable land. | ||
