Description
A gift of a Food Drying Training Package will help rural communities work together to dry their excess fruits and green garden products for later use in the dry season, or for sale to augment incomes. Typical on-farm losses from field to mouth exceed 50% due to the lack of food preservation knowledge and methods. Furthermore, these on-farm losses contribute to the significant and common vitamin A deficiencies found in mothers' and children's diets, especially during the dry season. GSC's training package includes alternative low-cost drying structures, education about appropriate drying methods, and information sessions on how to reconstitute the dried foods for preparation and use in cooking.
* Modified home food dryer for individual use (USD 50).
* Community food dryer for community members to share (USD 300).
* Community food dryer and training on drying techniques and methods (USD 400).
