DESCRIPTION: \n\nPhD Oral Defense of Ebenezer Miezah Kwofie\, Bioresource E
 ngineering\n\nRice is the most rapidly growing source of food in Africa wi
 th profound implication for food security and welfare of poor urban and ru
 ral households. Its production within rural communities besides being labo
 rious and energy intensive\, raise concerns on issues such as energy effic
 iency\, deforestation\, rice husk disposal\, greenhouse gas emission and s
 moke related health impact.  With farmers’ health and the environment at s
 take\, a simple but effective and environmentally friendly system may be r
 equired to improve both rice quality and overall livelihood of rural rice 
 processors. This project is part of McGill’s contribution in providing suc
 h solution within the region using rice husk energy systems. The primary o
 bjectives of this work were to provide an alternative biomass energy suppl
 y through efficient rice-husk-fired systems and to improve energy use thro
 ugh an integrated steaming and drying system (ISDS).\n\nEveryone in the Mc
 Gill community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in 
 celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n\n \n\n \n
