Solar Cooker Distribution Efficiency in Rural Ethiopian Women Farmers: Quantifying Cooking Time Reduction and Health Benefits

Abstract

Solar cookers have been introduced to rural communities in Ethiopia as a sustainable alternative to traditional open-fire cooking methods. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies from to . The analysis revealed a median reduction in cooking time of 48% for women farmers who adopted solar cookers compared to those who continued with open-fire cooking. This substantial decrease was accompanied by improved hygiene and reduced exposure to harmful smoke, contributing to better health outcomes. Solar cooker distribution among rural Ethiopian women farmers has led to significant reductions in cooking time, which correlates with enhanced health benefits. Further research should explore the long-term impact of solar cookers on community health and sustainability. Public health interventions should consider promoting solar cookers as a viable solution for households. Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
