CoolVeg
A lack of access to affordable and effective post-harvest storage solutions for fruits and vegetables is a significant contributor to high rates of food loss. This issue is particularly acute in off-grid communities in arid climates. Technologies utilizing evaporative cooling have been proven to increase shelf life with little or no reliance on electricity.
CoolVeg was founded to increase access and adoption of these technologies through collaborations with businesses, research institutions, NGOs, and government agencies.

What CoolVeg does
CoolVeg works with businesses, research institutions, NGOs, and government agencies to increase access to and adoption of evaporative cooling based technologies for fruit and vegetable preservation in regions with hot and dry climates. These underutilized technologies have the potential to provide improved shelf-life for nutritious foods, reducing food loss and saving community members precious time and money. Building on work started at MIT D-Lab, CoolVeg produces open-source documentation providing guidance on the construction and use of technologies including clay pot coolers and forced-air evaporative cooling chambers, and supports organizations with developing and implementing dissemination programs.
