Diversifying the Insides of the Totumo Fruit, IDDS Climate Change Adaptation

Presentations & Reports

IDDS participants and community members designed two machines to make use of the normally wasted parts of the totumo fruit. The first machine extracted fiber form the pulp and guts while the second maneuvered the fiber into a paper-like material. The project was meant to reduce waste and diversify the resources of the artisans that work with the fruit. This report is in Spanish.
