The story of the solar-powered drying system project began with the difficulties faced by small family farmers in accessing drying processes due to the high costs and continuous electricity and operating expenses of drying systems. In response to this need, the project aimed to develop a solution that could carry out drying processes more economically and environmentally friendly using solar energy.

Problem Area of the Project

The project is being developed to provide a solution to the problem of high costs and continuous electricity and operating expenses of drying systems that prevent small family farmers from accessing drying processes.

Social, Economic, and Environmental Impact of the Problem

Social Impact: The solar-powered drying system facilitates access to drying processes for small family farmers, increasing their production capacity and income. Moreover, as a modern and ecological solution, it positively impacts farmers' environmental footprint.

Economic Impact: The use of solar energy saves farmers from continuous electricity and fuel expenses, reducing the cost of drying processes. This provides financial advantages for farmers.

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 and provides training and consultancy services.

Unique Aspects of the Solution Strategy

The solar-powered drying system offers an economic and environmentally friendly alternative by reducing the costly and environmentally detrimental aspects of traditional methods.

SDG Impact of the Project:

Sustainable Energy Use

The solar-powered drying system increases the use of clean energy sources and contributes to the goal of reducing the consumption of fossil fuels.

Zero Hunger, Food Security, and Improved Nutrition

Conducting drying processes more economically and efficiently supports farmers' income, thus contributing to the fight against hunger.

Targeted Goals

In the project, we aim to make the solar-powered drying system an accessible and suitable solution for small family farmers.

Activities and Promotion of the Project

• Design, prototype production, and field testing of the solar-powered drying system.
• Providing education and consultancy services to farmers.
• Providing information about the solar-powered drying system and its advantages at agricultural fairs, seminars, and digital platforms.
• Highlighting the effectiveness of the project by sharing success stories and farmers' experiences.

Sustainability Goals

• To promote the widespread adoption of the solar-powered drying system and increase farmers' access by providing financial support and conveniences.
• To continuously offer technical support and consultancy services by the Agricultural Solution Center.

Project's Business Model

• The business model may include the production and sale of solar-powered drying systems.
• Additionally, a service-based model can be considered by providing installation and maintenance services to farmers.
