Post-harvest losses (PHL) is denying the women and youths smallholder farmers income generation opportunities. Therefore, investment in sustainable agricultural technologies such as low-cost solar driers could not only help in mitigating climate changes but also, help the smallholder farmers diversify their livelihoods while reducing PHL.
Based on this background, the African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS) in collaboration with Kenya Industrial Research Institute (KIRDI, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), organized a webinar, whose main aim was to;
- Share findings and experience of the proof-of-concept on climate-action solutions of low-cost solar drying technology enterprises, building on the experiences of EBAFOSA:
- Understand the market and viability of the solar dryer's technology commercialization business and dehydrated products in Kenya and across Africa;
- Establish ongoing relevant work in Kenya by different actors that will be built upon by the project to be the basis for project implementation partnerships;
- Identify potential partners to collaborate in the project implementation.
