CONSOLFOOD 2025

Many people in developing countries still burn wood, charcoal, or even garbage on open fires for cooking purposes because they do not have access to electricity or gas. The inefficient burning of wood, charcoal, dung, and plant residues causes health problems, deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. The potential of thermal solar energy for food processing tasks like drying, cooking, and pasteurization is well understood, but adoption of this technology is not increasing as rapidly as would be desirable. In the sunny
parts of the developed world, few people would recognise a solar cooker, and most still use only gas and electricity for cooking. The introduction of solar cookers in sunny areas for cooking, food drying, and water sterilization is our goal.
