Nutrition outcomes (undernutrition, overweight, and obesity) among women are growing concerns across the globe. Currently, the rate of undernutrition and overweight among women in Nigeria is ranked among the highest in Africa. A major contributory factor reported is unstable food prices in the country.

- Charcoal is widely used as a biofuel for cooking and industrial purposes, but its ignition requires safe materials known as Charcoal-Ignition-Aiders (CIA), which can emit harmful gases.
- A study found that using paper as a CIA resulted in the lowest carbon monoxide emissions, though all CIA options resulted in volatile organic compounds exceeding safety standards.
- The research highlighted significant differences in charcoal usage based on socio-demographic factors, recommending a combination of wood from specific trees and paper for safer and more efficient combustion.
The beneficial effects of biofuels as components of the worldwide energy supply are unquantifiable because they have versatile applications. However, an adequate understanding of the chemical properties of typical biomass is an integral aspect of maximizing the energy potentials because it is susceptible to biomass behavior during the conversion process, especially anaerobic digestion. Therefore, this study investigated the physicochemical characteristics of selected lignocellulose biomass, namely; cow dung, mango pulp, and Chromolaena odorata of Nigerian origin.

Consequently, this study aims to identify and analyse the copious variables to pinpoint the key variable factors that influence and turn the manufacturing elements into bottleneck problem to prioritize process improvement effort. The study is limited to identifying and analysing the numerous bottleneck variables to gain insight into how much each of the variables influences the process output via the manufacturing elements.
