    The document discusses a solution called the Village Cold Store that aims to help subsistence farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Cold Store uses solar power and simple construction with local materials to preserve crops for up to 3 months, allowing farmers to store crops until market prices are higher and to sell without loss to rotting. The Cold Store is a project of the Nigerian start-up GEden that seeks £80,000 in seed funding per store to make a difference for farmers and food supply chains in the region.
