Description

This presentation provides an overview of a project based in Bangladesh studying the nutrition impacts of three horticulture innovations: the CoolBot, the chimney solar dryer, and floating gardens. Presented by Angelos Deltsidis of UC Davis.

Highlights
CoolBot - Short-term storage more feasible for summer vegetables and fruit
Chimney solar dryer - No established market for dried vegetables (just fish, spices, pulses, fruits)
Floating gardens - Earlier production (seedlings)

This presentation was given at the 2017 Horticulture Innovation Lab annual meeting in Antigua, Guatemala.
