What to read after Oil Processing?

Designed for people who have no technical background or previous knowledge of the technologies, the titles in this series offer information on existing ways of improving the technology of food processing and increasing the quality and range of foodstuffs produced. While not providing instructions for actual processing, these source books are intended to increase awareness of the range of technological options and sources of expertise, indicate the complex nature of designing and successfully implementing technology projects and diffusion programmes, and provide material for those training in this area. The series has been prepared by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and Intermediate Technology in recognition of women's special roles in these processes. Vegetable oil is critical to the well-being of many rural communities as a source of concentrated energy; and production of the oil along with secondary products such as soap and animal feed can probide an important source of income for rural women.
