Energy, agriculture, forestry, environment, finance and business experts all seek for solutions to provide energy and also enhance food security, social welfare and environmental sustainability.

The three main issues in rural bioenergy in sub-Saharan Africa are:

• Unsustainable bioenergy feedstock which lead to deforestation;
