Tunisia
Tunisia is a North African country with a population of over 11 million people. Of the 10 million ha of land area suitable for agriculture, only 4.2 million are cultivated and only 8% of the cultivated area is irrigated. The agricultural sector is an important economic sector in Tunisia with an annual growth of 6% and a contribution to the GDP of 11.5%. About 22% of the population is employed in the agricultural sector (including fisheries). On the other hand, the agriculture sector consumes the majority of the country’s resources: 80% of the water and 90% of the fertile land resources are used for agriculture. The important supply chains in Tunisia include; meat/dairy, fruits (olives, dates, citrus) vegetables, and seafood. This diversity in important supply chains contributes to a fairly balanced national diet in terms of macronutrients. Over-nutrition is the most pressing nutrition challenge in Tunisia, affecting two thirds of adults.

Solar Milk Cooling with Insulated Milk Cans
The University of Hohenheim developed a milk cooling solution based on a commercially available DC Refrigerator equipped with an adaptive control unit for its conversion to a smart ice-maker that operates depending on the availability of solar energy. It can help small- and medium-sized dairy farms to improve the storage, transportation, and hygiene of their produced milk.
