Field surveys in Gujarat (2018-19)

We asked farmers if they burn their residues and why they burned it.

We also calculated the biomass density of some crop residues. Renuka and I are measuring the same for wheat residue here.

We also asked the ladies of rural households about fuel used for cooking. Pictured: Anurag speaking to a resident of Moti Koral, Vadodara.

We asked the ladies in rural households for how much fuel they used for cooking.

We also recorded health related information. Pradnya is measuring the height of a participant.

You learn something new everyday during the surveys. Here is what the locals call a "lakdi ka geyser" (wood geyser) or bambho (in Gujarati).

You also meet excellent people. Here we are with Shri Parsottambhai Sidapara who told us about the Gir cow in Jamka, Junagadh.
