Solar Dryer Workshop
Join our one-day Solar Dryer Workshop to learn about simple, yet effective, methods for drying agricultural products using solar dryers.
Explore how these practical and affordable solar-powered technologies can help address problems of post-harvest loss by improving product quality and preservation, as well as enabling good seed drying for multi-year seed saving.
Learning objectives:
Explain the principles of solar drying and its role in reducing postharvest losses and improving food safety.
Identify locally available materials and appropriate designs for constructing solar dryers.
Demonstrate the ability to build a functional solar dryer using sustainable, low-cost methods.
Apply solar drying techniques to preserve agricultural products hygienically and extend shelf life.
Explore solar drying techniques for the purpose of seed drying for long-term seed saving.
