| It is estimated that approximately 2.4 billion people worldwide depend on biomass as their primary fuel source, mainly for cooking. One adverse effect of using biomass as fuel is the elevated incidence of respiratory diseases, especially among women and children, who often remain in homes where indoor cooking takes place. Solar cooking emerges as a sustainable alternative to address some of the challenges stemming from the widespread use of biomass as fuel. Solar cooking involves a clean and health-conscious approach to food preparation, where solar radiation is harnessed through passive or active devices. These devices transform the energy of solar radiation into thermal energy for cook. In solar cooking, the electromagnetic radiation energy from the sun is converted into heat energy for cooking food. Despite its numerous health and environmental benefits, the widespread adoption of solar stoves and cookers has encountered challenges in urban and rural settings. Research efforts are concentrated on enhancing the functionality and performance of solar stoves and cookers. However, implementation barriers hinder the widespread adoption of these technologies exist. These barriers include climatological factors related to solar resource availability and intermittency, technical considerations linked to the use and management of solar cooking devices, sociocultural factors associated with culinary traditions and beliefs specific to each region, and the types of available foods. In our current work, employing participatory methodologies and a transdisciplinary research approach, we have successfully implemented solar stoves and dryers in rural communities, fostering the establishment of small rural enterprises utilizing these technologies. | |
