Back to newsThe Region of Crete and the Technological Educational Institute (TEI) have partnered on a project to dry and preserve local agricultural products using solar energy. The initiative focuses on developing sustainable drying technology for Cretan produce such as herbs, fruits, and vegetables, reducing reliance on conventional energy sources. This collaboration aims to support local farmers while maintaining the quality of traditional Cretan food products. For visitors, this means continued access to high-quality locally dried goods, including herbs, raisins, and dried figs, commonly found at markets and shops across the island. The project reflects Crete's broader push toward renewable energy and sustainable agriculture, areas where the island has been increasingly active in recent years.
