Abstract

This paper accounts for a methodology to address the management of forest bioresidue in western Himalayan region of India. The genesis of the paper lies in cause and effect relationship, where one of the authors of this paper has seen numerous forest fires during the course of his careers as a natural resource manager. The methodology tackles linkages between forest and it’s users by involving them in hazardous forest bioresidue waste management. Though the methodology is self evolutionary in nature but during the course of it’s evolution two major findings come forth. Traces of social entrepreneurship among the villagers and the requirement for an appropriate machine to handle the forest bioresidue were largely seen during the study. Both the above mentioned facts lead to an Innovation of eco friendly bioresidue briquetting machine. The paper in addition equally deals with the complete innovation cycle in addition to the methodological context of forest bioresidue resource utilization.
