项目摘要

The project (SOLARSAVER) focuses on converting agricultural, food processing by-products and side streams to value-added, long shelf-life food ingredients and biotechnical products while at the same time generating water for irrigation and drinking purposes. As fruit and vegetable products have high moisture content, the key target is to significantly reduce the energy consumption, operating costs, and carbon footprint of conventional drying techniques using an innovative low-temperature drying step which also yields potable water as a side product. The project aims at creating value for small- and large-scale sub-Saharan agricultural producers and other stakeholders by adding a new sustainable technical and processing solution delivered at a pricing level suitable for deployment in Africa and Europe to create highly nutritious products for both markets, while also providing water especially in water-stressed regions. The processing solution is such that it can be easily deployed on-farm at different degrees of decentralisation, and in centralised small, medium and large-scale industrial sites. Hence, diffferent sections of society such as the poor (majority of farmers) and women (about 50%) are catered for. Extensive operations are planned with partners in Tanzania, Ghana and South Africa.

该项目（SOLARSAVER）侧重于将农业、食品加工副产品和侧流转化为增值的、长保质期的食品成分和生物技术产品，同时产生用于灌溉和饮用的水。由于水果和蔬菜产品具有高水分含量，关键目标是使用创新的低温干燥步骤显着降低能源消耗，运营成本和传统干燥技术的碳足迹，该步骤也产生饮用水作为副产品。该项目旨在通过增加一种新的可持续技术和加工解决方案，为撒哈拉以南地区的小型和大型农业生产者和其他利益相关者创造价值，其价格水平适合在非洲和欧洲部署，为这两个市场生产高营养产品，同时还为缺水地区特别是缺水地区提供水。处理解决方案是这样的，它可以很容易地部署在农场在不同程度的分散，并在集中的小型，中型和大型工业场所。因此，不同的社会阶层，如穷人（大多数农民）和妇女（约50%）都得到照顾。计划与坦桑尼亚、加纳和南非的合作伙伴开展广泛的行动。
