POST HARVEST FOOD LOSS AND FOOD SECURITY A GLOBAL CHALLENGE

Post-harvest food losses are one of the biggest challenges faced by humanity and it is estimated that one-third of Food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted-equivalent to 1.3 Billion Tonnes annually. Most of the Food losses occur at an early stage of the food value chain, mainly due to lack of financial, managerial and technical constraints in harvesting, post-harvest handling techniques and inadequate hermetic /cold storage, Sorting, grading and Food processing facilities.

These have significant nutritional, health and financial impacts affecting small and medium holder farmers.

In most of the cases, simple and cost effective interventions for post harvest handling, storage ,grading sorting and processing infrastructure can enable farmers and processors to reduce food losses and substantially increase their realisable value of the crops. This adds to a significant improvement of food security in the respective countries, aligning to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Agenda 2030 established by the United Nations in 2015 .
