Our material of choice for sheller parts is concrete because it is inexpensive and has a very long service life. In addition, even the most remote villages have access to cement and someone who knows how to work with it.\n\nThey are a very active [[open source technology]] group.\n\nListen to the Full Belly Project [http://agroinnovations.com/component/option,com_jd-wp/Itemid,173/cat,12/ webcast]\n\n== Nut sheller technology ==\n\n{{Universal Nut Sheller navigation}}\n\nExternal projects working on improving or modifying the nut sheller:\n\n* [[FBP Hot Dang Plastic Encasement]]\n* [[FBP LC Sheller]]\n* [[FBP Multiplicity]]\n* [[FBP Nutsy]]\n* [[FBP Pressed Plastic]]\n* [[FBP SimpleSimon]]\n* [[FBP The Full Bell]]\n\n(This includes projects by Humboldt State University students.)\n\n== Pages in category \"Full Belly Project\" ==\n\n{{Gallery\n| category = Full Belly Project\n}}\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| description = Nut shellers improve lives.
