CTI on improving post-harvest food processing in developing nations

Anne-Marie Hendrickson - Compatible Technology International

CTI's vision is a world in which everyone has adequate nutrition and clean water. Now in their twenty-seventh year, they have been working toward that vision by engineering, designing, and distributing culturally appropriate equipment and shared knowledge aimed at improving post-harvest food processing for small land holders in developing countries. Thousands of people's lives have been improved by the introduction of simple devices like burr grinders, driers, and even storage facilities. Our Strategic Planning is leading us towards an even greater in-country presence with locally sustainable manufacturing and distribution centers, employing people in developing countries to work on the solutions to their own crop processing opportunities.
