S4S Technologies

S4S Technologies equips smallholder women farmers in India with solar-powered conduction dryers and food processing tools, enabling them to preserve surplus crops on-site. By reducing post-harvest waste, these farmers not only save resources but also increase their income by 9 to 15%.

S4S connects them directly to commercial buyers, ensuring fair profits and creating nutrient-dense, preservative-free food products with a low carbon footprint.

Shell Foundation is supporting S4S to help these farmers strengthen their businesses with reduced losses and market-linkages and establish others as micro-entrepreneurs able to run the dehydrators as standalone enterprises. In 2023, S4S Technologies were an Earthshot Prize Winner.
