The story of the solar-powered drying system project began with the fact that the high costs of drying systems and the constant electricity and operating expenses made it difficult for small family farmers to access drying processes. In response to this need, the aim was to develop a solution that could perform drying operations in a more economical and environmentally friendly way using solar energy.
Project Problem Area
The project is being developed to provide a solution to the problem that prevents small family farmers from accessing drying processes due to the high costs of drying systems and constant electricity and operating expenses.
Social, Economic, and Environmental Impact of the Problem
Social Impact:
The solar-powered drying system increases the production capacities of small family farmers by facilitating their access to drying processes and raising their income. In addition, as a modern and ecological solution, it increases farmers’ positive impact on the environment.
Economic Impact:
The use of solar energy saves on constant electricity and fuel costs and reduces the cost of drying processes, providing farmers with financial advantages.
Environmental Impact:
The solar-powered drying system reduces environmental pollution by decreasing the use of fossil fuels and supports sustainable agricultural practices.
Our Solution Strategy as the Agricultural Solution Center
The Agricultural Solution Center works to introduce innovative and environmentally friendly agricultural solutions such as the solar-powered drying system to farmers, providing training and consultancy services.
Uniqueness of the Solution Strategy
By using solar energy, the drying system reduces the costly and environmentally harmful effects of traditional methods, offering farmers an economical and eco-friendly alternative.
Project SDG Impacts
Sustainable Energy Use
The solar-powered drying system increases the use of clean energy sources and contributes to the clean energy goal by reducing the consumption of fossil fuels.Combating Hunger, Food Security, and Nutrition Improvement
Making drying processes more economical and efficient supports the fight against hunger by increasing farmers’ income.
Targeted Outcomes
In the project, we aim to make the solar-powered drying system an accessible and affordable solution for small family farmers.
