the 3rd international conference on solar cookers use and technology avinashilingam institute for home science (deemed u.) co-sponsored by solar cookers international, ministry of non-conventional energy sources-new delhi, tamil nadu energy development agency-madras, and indian institute of technology - new delhi nearly one-third of humanity sometimes lacks fuel for cooking, with serious nutritional and health consequences. according to u.n. food and agricultural organization some 2,400 million people are expected to face acute fuelwood shortages by the end of the century. the projected energy scenario of deepening fuel crises will be equally serious for both the developed and developing nations. this necessitates the search for efficient and appropriate technologies utilizing renewable sources of energy. the efforts in this direction would not only reduce the demand on the fast depleting fossil fuels but would also restore the ecological balance. solar energy promises to be the fuel of tomorrow because of its multifaceted advantages. many women toil for hours to collect fuel and cook food with unsafe devices in a smoky atmosphere. solar cooking is a sustainable technology with potential to alleviate these hardships; it also easily pasteurizes water, reduces air pollution, is safe around children, and is convenient. solar cookers are labor-saving, health-saving and sometimes life-saving. realizing the urgent need to tap solar energy for household cooking purposes, varied models of solar cooking devices have been developed and tested. a number of solar cooking devices have proved to be effective, convenient and inexpensive -- a practical solution for today's household energy problem. to spread access to solar cookers it is essential for all organizations working with solar cookers at both national and international levels to assemble in one forum and discuss how to widen access; iron out constraints in design, use and popularisation; and define relevant areas for further research. objectives
