Management of postharvest food loss and waste (FLW) is an important strategy in efforts to sustainably meet the food and nutrition needs of the world’s growing population.
Africa, a continent of immense potential, stands at a crucial juncture.
One of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is reducing food loss and waste (FLW) across all stages of food value chains, including the on-farm production, the off-farm postharvest, processing, and distribution, and the household consumption s
Kenya is one of the main producers of tomato within Africa south of the Sahara, with an estimated market value of USD 237 million as of 2012, most of which was produced for the national market (Sibomana et al., 2016).
Irish potato is the second most important food crop in Kenya after maize (Kaguongo et al., 2014).
African seasonal price variability for cereals is two to three times higher than price variability on the international reference market.
We study post-harvest losses (PHL) in important and rapidly growing rural–urban value chains in Ethiopia.
This research examines the effects of an intervention aimed at reducing Post-Harvest Losses (PHL) of maize growing farmers during their maize storage in Tanzania.
This paper discusses the feasibility of applying a near-surface remote sensing approach in the index insurance component of the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative in Ethiopia.
Irish potato is the second most important food crop in Kenya after maize (Kaguongo et al., 2014).
The Government of Uganda has implemented programs and policies to improve the agricultural sector’s recent underperformance.
Unlike physical losses, deterioration of food safety can be difficult to observe. In low- and middle- income countries, much of the food supply is never tested for safety hazards.
Ethiopia producer teff survey is the study of the producers in the teff value chain in Ethiopia.
We study post-harvest losses (PHL) in important and rapidly growing rural-urban value chains in Ethiopia.
Predicting high-magnitude, low-frequency crop losses in the first half of the growing season can help identify need for early national and local interventions.
Storage losses of crops on the farm are often assumed to be an important contributor to presumed large post-harvest losses in developing countries. However, reliable and representative estimates on these losses are often lacking.
Evidence continues to mount that foodborne illness imposes a staggering health burden in developing countries.
