Abstract

© 2017 Taylor & Francis. The women in Lupeta, Tanzania use fuelwood as the primary source of fuel. The choices and constraints women face in fuelwood collection were examined using walks with women and semi-structured interviews. Women primarily use fuelwood with limited charcoal use. They would prefer to use more charcoal but costs, limited income, competition and ownership of trees, and land constrains them in both fuelwood collection and alternative strategies.
