摘要

The nutritional significance of appropriate technologies for growing, handling, and using food in the home is often underestimated. Provided here are the proceedings of a 7/81 conference, held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, addressing this topic. After listing committee recommendations, the report briefly recounts meetings of technology exchange groups on family food gardens; food storage and processing; food preparation; preservation, and culinary technology; weaning foods; and food sanitation. Next, profiles of community-based appropriate technology projects conducted in nine Asian countries are presented.
