Activity Description:

The VitaGoat is a food processing system for developing countries, both as a vehicle for micro-enterprises as well as for providing high-quality nutrition to the local community. The machine can be used to process a variety of foods, from soybeans to tomato puree to tofu.

Vitagoat processers don't require any electricity supply or generator, as they use locally-available fuels, including wood or other biomass, or bottled gas, for the cooking section of the operation. This is a critical feature, due to the unavailable or unreliable supply, and/or high cost of electricity in most developing countries.

Training sessions and pilot runs in Chad and Guinea, which Maluntrition Matters conducted in partnership with Africare, point to the large potential that Vitagoat has for increasing food security and income.

Vita Goat is a participant in the "Disruptive Innovations Challenge" to learn more about them visit this page.
