Solar is my passion's video: Spreading our passion for solar cooking - Special meeting CONSOLFOOD - A Record setting event

Special meeting CONSOLFOOD Spreading our passion for solar cooking 24th January 2021 Many people in the developing countries are burning wood, charcoal or even garbage on open fires for cooking purposes because they do not have access to electricity or gas. Inefficient burning of wood, charcoal, dung, and plant residues is causing health problems, deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, there are also many people living in sunny parts of world using only gas and electricity for cooking. The potential of thermal solar energy for cooking is well understood, but adoption of this technology is not increasing as rapidly as would be desirable. The effective use of solar energy in sunny areas for cooking, food drying, and water sterilization is crucial. This meeting is being planned for the 24th January 2021 starting at 14h30min Lisbon time, 20h00 New Delhi Time.
