Impact of adopting maize hermetic storage technologies on smallholder farmers’ income in Gatsibo District, Rwanda
Rapid population growth has increased the global demand for food. However, some studies have revealed that more than one-third of the global food production is lost during postharvest operations along the food supply chain.
Modern cooling technologies that utilize renewable energy sources have been increasingly recognized as promising tools to address various challenges emerging in progressively complex agrifood systems in developing countries.
Bt cotton area contraction drives regional pest resurgence, crop loss, and pesticide use
Unveiling how Bt cotton area contraction drives regional pest resurgence, crop loss, and pesticide use.
Storage is an important aspect of food security in developing countries. Therefore, it is crucial for farmers to have access to sustainable storage technologies to cope with storage losses.
Urbanization is a pressing challenge for earth’s humans because it is changing not only natural environments but also agricultural lands.
On the origins of food loss
Identifying policy-relevant information gaps, summarizing recent research that tries to fill these gaps, and the five challenges for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in reducing FLW.
The essential first steps of addressing the problem of food loss are measuring the loss, identifying where in the food system it occurs, and developing effective policies to mitigate it along the value chain.
We study post-harvest losses (PHL) in important and rapidly growing rural–urban value chains in Ethiopia.
Metrics to analyze and improve diets through food systems in low and middle income countries
Taking a food systems approach is a promising strategy for improving diets.
A substantial literature has analyzed the challenges around weather index insurance, yet an important design issue has been generally overlooked.
Achieving healthy and sustainable food environments for all
Food is critical to human and planetary health, yet food is currently threatening both people and planet.
Large-scale modes of climate variability can force widespread crop yield anomalies and are therefore often presented as a risk to food security. We quantify how modes of climate variability contribute to crop production variance.
