Evaporative Coolers as Alternative Storage for Mechanical Refrigrator

Post harvest loss and waste is about one third of total production on the globe which is estimated to $1.3 billion. This figure is even more in developing countries where farmers and retailers do not use post harvest technologies which is some times loss reach 100% during market absence. With this in-mind this book shows some alternative storage structures to mechanical refrigerator where most farmers in developing countries have no access to electricity. Pot in pot Zero energy cooling chambers and desert/swamp cooler could serve as a best alternative of mechanical refrigerator for those who can''t afford to buy and run.
