Sun-Powered Agroecology: The Solar Dome

This video highlights the Solar Dryer Dome, a sustainable, solar-powered innovation designed to help farmers reduce post-harvest losses, preserve crops, and increase income. The main goal of this video is to showcase how this simple yet effective technology improves food security, minimizes waste, and enhances market opportunities for small-scale farmers. Implemented by the Community Development and Environment Association (CDEA) and supported by the ALiSEA Small Grant Facility 2022, this initiative aligns with agroecology principles, promoting sustainability, climate resilience, and efficient resource use. Through real farmer experiences, we explore how this innovation is transforming agriculture in Laos.

Installation of a solar drying dome for agricultural post harvest

This case study presents a solar drying dome, a low-cost, energy-efficient solution originally developed by Silpakorn University in Thailand . Made from durable polycarbonate, the dome protects food from dust, insects, animals, and microbial contamination, while preserving its nutritional quality and appearance.
