Passive Food Drying Systems for Farming Communities

Many farming communities lose a significant portion of their harvest due to limited storage and processing options. ArduMai LAB proposes developing power-free or low-energy food drying booths and devices that allow farmers to preserve surplus fruits and vegetables.

Using passive solar design, airflow control, and natural materials, these drying systems can extend shelf life, reduce waste, and open opportunities for off-season use or export preparation—without reliance on electricity.

Outcome:
Reduced food loss, added value to harvests, and improved food securit
