1. Using VitaGoat & SoyCow Systems Improved Food Security with Local Processing of Soy

2. MM: Improved Food Security with Local Processing of Soy Malnutrition is highest in rural areas Roads and industrial infrastructure are poor in rural areas Small-scale local processing is ideal: Lowest-cost complete protein foods are produced in the local communities VitaGoat and SoyCow food enterprises provide employment for unskilled women Enterprises become self-sufficient within one year Other low-cost, simple health interventions can be provided in tandem Micro-nutrient fortification (1/4 cent per dose) De-worming medicine (4 cents per year) Soymilk being made in an Ashram in New Delhi

3. Why are Soyfoods Ideal for Development? Large variety of locally processed low-cost foods Soymilk, tofu, soy yogurt, sour soymilk (low-cost dairy alternatives) Okara (soybean pulp) can be added to foods or sold for feed Provides local jobs & training through sustainable micro-enterprise Nutritional Uses Safe hydration through high-temperature process Micronutrient delivery capability Ideal HIV/AIDS protein nutrition and weaning foods Environmentally friendly 5 to 10 times more efficient with respect to land and energy usage Up to 100 times more efficient with respect to water usage

7. Today Over 1,000 older electric SoyCows in over 40 countries VitaGoat technology transfer to India completed in 2006; training and support centers operational in India & Africa Over 140 VitaGoats have been installed in 15 African countries, India, Thailand, Guatemala, Honduras, Brazil, Bangladesh & North Korea New-generation SoyCow models are available (Electric soy-only hybrids of the VitaGoat) WISSH projects include VitaGoats and SoyCows in Africa and Central America World Bank project completed in 2009 provides soymilk nutrition supplement for 8,000 students in India Interest in the VitaGoat and SoyCow, as a vehicle for community development, continues to increase School children drinking soymilk at rural school in Orissa

8. The VitaGoat System

9. Why the VitaGoat? Manual (non-electric) operation to enable rural micro-enterprise Wood, coal, gas or other fuel options Lower cost and more versatile High-efficiency boiler conserves fuel No electric/water connection costs Dry and wet food production Rural groups benefit from processing their own foods, especially when there is a glut of local produce The grinder can be used alone to grind coffee, peanut butter, flour, and other nuts, cereals and grains. Cycle Grinder

10. Why a SoyCow? Electric processing of soy foods SoyCow M (VitaGoat hybrid) Electric grinder instead of cycle grinder Multi-fuel boiler as per the VitaGoat Equipment cost approx. US $3,900 Suited for rural applications with household electricity SoyCow E (fully electric) Electric grinder instead of cycle grinder Electric boiler instead of multi-fuel boiler Equipment cost approx. $5,500 Suited for urban/commercial applications SoyCow E All are manufactured in India Electric Grinder Pressure Cooker  Electric Boiler  Filter Press

14. The VitaGoat / SoyCow Applications & Economics Settings: - Direct feeding (emergency or other) - Social institutions (schools, hospitals, etc.) - Community or entrepreneurial businesses Economics: - Daily serving of soyfood for 500 to 1000 people - Can employ 3-6 people per system - Cost of 250 ml serving of soymilk: 6 cents vs 12 cents for dairy milk - Variety of local foods can be processed (VitaGoat) - Minimal infrastructure and set-up costs Training: - Provides an opportunity for nutrition awareness - Related hygiene training about food preparation - Health training about intestinal worms, treatment and prevention also appropriate - Basic training for micro-enterprise management is possible, for those with basic literacy and numeracy
