Leftover Food, Integrated Farming and Solar Drying
Grade 9 · Agriculture and Nutrition · Conservation and Production
Leftover food can be used to make new dishes or fed to animals to avoid waste. Integrated farming combines crops, livestock and sometimes fish so waste from one becomes input for another (e.g., manure for crops, crop residues for animals). A homemade solar dryer dries fruit, vegetables or fish using sun heat in a covered box with air vents and mesh. Crop produce should be stored dry, clean and protected from pests.
