New publication on biofuel production in Tanzania

A new publication is the most recent output of TNRF's applied research study on the biofuels sector. The book, titled Biofuels, land access and rural livelihoods in Tanzania, is the latest in a series of publications by the International Institute for Environment and Development that looks at land tenure and resource access in Africa. The study documents the experiences of communities with three types of biofuel crops -- sugarcane, jatropha and palm -- in four regions, and analyzes the benefits these communities earn from plantation and small holder crop production.
