Induction stoves program in rural areas of Ecuador

Meer over het boek

The book explores the challenges faced by Ecuador's rural population, which constitutes 37% of the country and struggles with limited access to stable electricity. It highlights the government's induction stove program, a pioneering initiative aimed at providing surplus electricity and promoting sustainable cooking methods. However, the program's effectiveness has waned due to rising costs for rural residents and inadequate promotion resources, leaving it largely forgotten. The economic disparities in subsidies for induction stoves versus liquefied gas further illustrate the inequities faced by these communities.
