The development of an automated salted fish drying tool significantly contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by enhancing food preservation and supporting local fishing communities. This innovative tool optimizes the drying process, ensuring high-quality dried fish is available year-round, thereby promoting food security and nutrition (SDG 2: Zero Hunger). By providing fishermen with a reliable method to process their catch, the system reduces post-harvest losses and improves income stability, fostering economic resilience (SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth). Additionally, the tool minimizes energy consumption and dependence on favorable weather conditions, encouraging responsible resource management in the seafood industry (SDG 12; Responsible Consumption and Production).Furthermore, the automation and efficiency of the drying process help mitigate the impacts of climate variability on fishing communities, promoting adaptive practices that enhance resilience to climate change (SDG 13: Climate Action). Overall, the implementation of this technology empowers fishermen by providing a dependable solution for fish drying, enhancing productivity and strengthening their market position. By ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality dried fish, the project supports local food systems and contributes to the well-being of fishing communities. The focus on sustainability and reduced environmental impact reinforces the commitment to preserving marine ecosystems, vital for the livelihoods of these communities. This project not only addresses immediate needs within the fishing industry but also fosters long-term sustainability and resilience, ultimately contributing to broader social and economic development goals in fishing communities.
