 note = {Stone grinder, an essential food processing tool for people in the Himalayan villages has been used for centuries. It is a very important tool for the local communities to continue their livelihoods sustainably. It will be even more important especially in post COVID-19 era to practice sustainable organic livings and social distancing. However, due to its heavy weight, children and senior people are not able to utilize this tool efficiently and thus losing its popularity now a days among them. In this paper, we devised a “Sustainable & Trustable” food processing technology and platform that can contribute to preserve the traditional knowledge and address those limitations so that it will be a foundation towards achieving “Sustainable Society”. The newly designed food processing prototype (Aamako Jato, literally means mother's stone grinder) was evaluated and revealed that it reduced the total operational time of the users significantly (i.e. 80% reduction of operational time). Furthermore, this system does not require manual operation, and thus, can be operable from anywhere by anyone such as children, women, and senior people., Stone grinder, an essential food processing tool for people in the Himalayan villages has been used for centuries.
