Increasing access and adoption of evaporative cooling technologies for fruit and vegetable storage
关于我们
A lack of access to affordable and effective post-harvest storage solutions for fruits and vegetables is a significant contributor to high rates of food loss. This issue is particularly acute in off-grid communities in arid climates. Technologies utilizing evaporative cooling have been proven to increase shelf life with little or no reliance on electricity. CoolVeg was founded to increase access and adoption of these technologies through collaborations with businesses, research institutions, NGOs, and government agencies.

Thank you to Sucheta for representing CoolVeg at #GOGSFE24 and to you Efficiency for Access and Energy Saving Trust for?hosting! https://lnkd.in/gzKGHrsP
Had a wonderful time representing CoolVeg at the GOGLA conference #GOGSFE24 in Nairobi! Checked out the latest innovations in solar energy and cooling technologies and had some very interesting discussions! Thank you Efficiency for Access and Energy Saving Trust for the sponsorship, and for taking me in (literally!) at the E4A booth. Special shout outs to Kalina Stormonth-Darling, Christopher Beland, Sheree Conibear, Mahta, Eve and Liya! Missed you Eric Verploegen.

“Together, the J-WAFS Solutions program and MIT’s I&E ecosystem demonstrate how academic research can evolve into business innovations that make a better world,” says J-WAFS Director Professor John Lienhard. MIT's labs, classrooms, and centers are a hub for innovative solutions to pressing global challenges. These innovations often transition to the commercial realm through MIT's innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) ecosystem, which includes programs like the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s NE I-Corps, MIT Venture Mentoring Service, and MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition. J-WAFS utilizes this ecosystem to help researchers commercialize technologies in water, food, and agriculture through its Solutions grant program. Since 2015, the program has funded projects aimed at enhancing water and food systems, driving economic, environmental, and social benefits. As J-WAFS approaches its 10th anniversary, it continues to promote collaborations that translate academic research into real-world results.

This video gives an overview of the clay pot cooler training program being implemented in the Mopti region of Mali by CARE International Mali, Institut d'Economie Rurale (IER), and CoolVeg. This program teaches people to make clay pot coolers from locally available materials. These simple devices do not require electricity to function adn can increase fruit and vegetable shelf life by more than 200%! https://lnkd.in/eRtgPTcK
Feed the Future ???????? ???????????? financé par l'USAID a récemment commandité, une étude de base menée auprès des groupements maraichers de Djenné et Bandiagara (évaluation préliminaire). Cette étude a révélé un besoin réel de formation aux technologies innovantes de refroidissement, stockage et conservation appropriées des fruits et légumes dans les zones d’intervention du projet afin de faciliter les activités commerciales des acteurs du maraichage. C’est dans ce cadre, que Feed the Future ???????? ???????????? en partenariat avec l'???????????????? ??'???????????????? ???????????? (??????) et ??????????????, a organisé du ???? au ???? septembre 2024 à Djenné, une une formation pilote des groupements maraichers sur les technologies innovantes de refroidissement, stockage et conservation appropriées des fruits ?? et légumes ?? grace aux canaris refroidisseurs "Clay Pot Cooler"??. La formation ?? a concerné ???? maraichers (dont près de ???? ????????????) venus représenter ?????? organisations locales de Djenné. Les representant.e.s de la DRPFEF, du CSREF, de l’Union Locale des Acteurs du Marché (ULAM) et de l’association des potières de Djenné _ y ont pris part et ont salué cette initiative salutaire qui contribuera assurément à aider davantage, les organisations locales ??. á l’issue des 2 formations, ce ne sont pas moins de ???????? ???????????????????? ?????????????? qui seront touchés par cette initiative. Pour la pérenniser, des brochures sont en confection afin de dupliquer cette technique innovante auprès du plus grand nombre.

We are thrilled to announce the eleven grantees awarded a share of $1.7M from our recent Agritech Call. This funding will support innovators in developing clean energy technologies for agricultural value chains in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.?? ? Eleven organisations will use this support to implement solutions such as evaporative cooling chambers, solar-powered dryers, and low-cost refrigerated systems. The advancement of technologies like these are crucial for reducing food loss and improving market access for smallholder farmers.? ?

CoolVeg and the Institut d'Economie Rurale (IER) in Mali recently completed a project funded by the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) and USAID to develop a clay pot cooler training program. In total, 293 fruit and vegetable consumers, vendors, and farmers attended the ~2 hour training sessions, along with 84 clay pot sellers. The impacts reported by clay pot cooler users are shown in the graphic below.
