Development of activities generating income by means of renewable energies
This project proposes to help the rural population of the North West Himalayas, to introduce activities generating income by means of renewable energies, such as conversion of wool or production of processed foodstuffs (fruit drying units), and to improve health, by allowing populations to produce vegetables and eggs during winter, through the installation of bioclimatic henhouses and solar greenhouses.
You can read the specification sheet proposed by Geres to consult the technical diagram of the solar greenhouses.
