Welcome to our comprehensive journey into the world of shea butter innovation! In this riveting video, we delve into the groundbreaking project that is revolutionizing the shea butter industry in northern Ghana. Join us as we explore how Baraka Impact, in collaboration with @evanhealyskin and @burndesignlab4335, is leading the charge with game-changing roasters specifically designed for sustainability, worker health, and community upliftment.
### Why This Initiative Matters
The shea butter sector represents more than just a product; it is a lifeline for countless women in northern Ghana, providing a primary source of income while preserving rich traditional practices. Traditional roasting methods, however, have detrimental side effects—contributing to deforestation, air pollution, and unsafe working conditions. Our new roasters aim to reverse these damaging trends, setting the scene for healthier communities and thriving ecosystems.
### Features of the Innovative Roasters
#### Revolutionary Design for a Sustainable Future
- 90% Reduction in Wood Fuel Use Thanks to an innovative approach of utilizing shea cake residue as a primary fuel source, we significantly lessen our dependence on valuable forest resources.
- 70% Reduction in Harmful Air Pollutants The revamped roasting techniques ensure cleaner air, improving the health and safety of women who are at the forefront of this industry.
- Promotion of Circular Economy By repurposing waste from the shea butter production process, we not only achieve sustainability but also foster a resilient supply chain.
### The Implementation Journey
Embark on this insightful journey with us as we witness the pilot testing of these roasters at Baraka's production facility in northern Ghana. You'll see the preparations, effort, and profound impacts these innovative systems can bring to countless lives.
### Benefits to Workers & Communities
### Empowering Change
