“…Since the beginning of human history, the ancient cocking method has been adopted for food preparation. These methods are still used now and are the most popular type of stove in developing countries such as Ethiopia [5][6][7]. Traditional cookstoves create a lot of smoke, which has a bad influence on human health and increases deforestation exacerbating to the effects of climate change, which result in floods and droughts, in turn affecting the production of crops and livestock [8].…”

Developing countries attempt different programs and projects to promote and disseminate improved cookstoves with health, economic, and environmental benefits. However, it is also important to understand the factors affecting people's decisions to adopt fuel-efficient cookstoves. This study aimed to investigate factors affecting the adoption of Harari fuel-efficient stoves among rural households in Dire Dawa Administration Ethiopia. The study used a mixed approach of both quantitative and qualitative research methods to achieve objectives. Data was collected from 152 sample households randomly selected from the study area (55=adopters and 97=non-adopters) from four rural kebeles (villages). The collected data through household surveys was analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one sample t-test, and binary logistic regression using Stata 16SE software. One sample t‐test result revealed that residents do have a positive attitude toward the benefits of fuel-efficient stoves with statistical significance at P< 0.001 probability. Logistic regression results revealed that access to extension services, awareness of fuel-efficient stoves, kitchen service, and education level of household head were found to be significant in determining the probability of fuel-efficient stove adoption at P< 0.05 level of significance. The study also revealed that the main barriers to the adoption of the Harari fuel-efficient cookstove were a lack of awareness about the benefits of the stove and the size of the household kitchen. However, the study also found a low adoption rate of the Harari fuel-efficient cookstove in the study area. This is due to a variety of factors, such as culture, socioeconomic, institutional, financial, and resource endowments. Thus, policymakers should prioritize the variables indicated above to encourage the adoption of Harari fuel-efficient stoves in the study area as well as in other parts of Ethiopia.

“…The ethnographic observation conducted in this research project was realized over days and hours to cope with certain limitations of time and resources available. However, this research design provides valuable information that would not be available without using these methods [ 84 , 85 ]. The data collected through this approach helped to understand contextual dimensions and explore the empirical results in greater depth.…”

A high incidence of foodborne diseases occurs in the home setting because consumers adopt inappropriate preparation, consumption, and storage procedures. The present study applies an ethnographic approach to identify inadequate practices that could increase the incidence of foodborne diseases. Techniques related to the ethnographic approach were used: participant observation, kitchens mapping, collection of photographic material, and informal interviews in natural settings. A sample of 14 families was involved through the snowball sampling technique. This study identifies habitual practices and routine behaviour as the main risk factors. The inadequacies most frequently encountered related to the microbiological risks are incorrect handwashing, the presence in the kitchen spaces of objects unrelated to food preparation, the improper use of dishcloths and sponges, the inappropriate washing of utensils and food, the incorrect storage of food in the fridge, and the presence of children and pets without an adequate administration of the spaces. The practices that can expose consumers to chemical risk include food preservation through unsuitable containers/materials, food overcooking, and detergents contamination. The data underline the need to implement communicative and training interventions that give precise and targeted indications about correct safety practices in the home setting.
