Limitations [Edit]
You have not modified this area. Please click the [Edit] link to add text.
Please note what limitations exist that would make implementing the solution ineffective or counter productive? Are there any specific barriers to adopting the solution?
E.g. "The use of wood to cook can be highly culturally dependent. For example, some communities have specific rituals for cooking which require open fires, changing the cooking stove can change the taste of food and make it harder to prepare food. Be sure to conduct thorough test studies before implementing a large-scale project so that this solution will work at scale in your project area. We recommend adapting this solution to meet the needs of your situation – such as providing micro-financing to buy stoves in areas with incomes below US$3/day."
