Feed the Future Sugu Yiriwa, funded by USAID, commissioned a baseline study of market gardening groups in Djenné and Bandiagara, which revealed their need for training in innovative technologies for appropriate cooling, storage, and preservation of fruit and vegetables in the project areas.
The increased availability and use of appropriate cooling and storage technologies will enable market gardening groups, distributors and consumers to improve shelf life, resulting in reduced food waste, better access to nutritious food and financial savings.
Produced in French, Bambara (Mali’s national language), and English, it represents a dynamic tool to encourage widespread use of this innovative technique with as many producers and market gardeners as possible.
