Reducing Post-Harvest Losses through Market-Driven Solutions

Описание: Reducing Post-Harvest Losses through Market-Driven Solutions
With a Focus on sub-Saharan Africa
WEDNESDAY, APR 15, 2015
Post-harvest loss (PHL) is an enormous nutritional, economic, and environmental concern around the world, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Roughly 40 percent of the world's food supply is wasted instead of consumed due to improper storage and damages. Therefore, reducing PHL represents a unique opportunity to enhance global food security. Identifying a consensus among donors and the private sector around the causes and actionable solutions to PHL will benefit farmers, local suppliers, and consumers. Join us for a panel discussion on the forthcoming CSIS report on the role of market driven solutions in mitigating PHL. This project is made possible with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation.
