  Bringing a message of hope this book looks at successful local strategies which are putting life back into the land in Africa, it draws on a wide range of case studies, and describes the gains in farming, forestry and woodfuel supply that have come about through a broader, people-centred approach to solving the woodfuel crisis. Huge efforts are needed to recover from the failure of the past but the authors show that important lessons are at last being learned and new roads to success can be mapped. The author also wrote The Biocrats and A Low Energy Strategy for the UK .
