Issues
- Biomass is an important source of energy for many people, especially in rural communities in the global South (the so-called "developing countries").
- The burning of biomass as an energy source for heating or cooking can contribute to deforestation and indoor air pollution.
- These issues can be addressed through the introduction of improved cooking stoves.
- The gathering and transportation of biomass is also a cause of heavy labor burdens that often fall disproportionately on women and children.
- The burning of biomass as an energy source for heating or cooking can contribute to deforestation and indoor air pollution.
