For small farmers in developing countries up to half of their crops rot before making it to market. The Wakati solves that problem and keeps crops fresh without needing lots of electricity or cold. Basically the Wakati is a tent made of insulated fabric and a small solar powered fan on the side. The Wakati keeps food fresh by creating a microclimate and circulating the air, it also keeps fungi from growing. The Wakati keeps food fresh for 10x longer allowing farmers more time to get their crops to market.
