I am looking for any information on food preservation in tropics. This is in an area with no cash economy so zip lock bags for dehydrated food is out, canning jars is out, or any other preservation method that requires going to the store and buying something.

Long term food preservation is critical in most of the world and in the Tropics it is a challenge because of the high humidity and such rampant fungal and bacterial activity. In the villages where I am working in Africa the lack of storage technology means that one night of elephant or monkey rampaging in the garden means hunger the next day. In this kind of food insecurity it is difficult to think beyond today or to plan a way out of survival mode into some place of semi comfort.

I am also looking for any contacts in Greece??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott Pittman
