It is estimated that around 1.3 billion tons per year of food
produced for human consumption, which is about one-third of all
food produced, is either lost or wasted globally. Reduction of the
postharvest losses is being considered as one of the sustainable
ways to ensure world food security. Postharvest Extension and
Capacity Building for the Developing World provides information on
postharvest extension/outreach programs, capacity building, and
practical methodologies for postharvest extension professionals and
food science teachers, food processing trainers, and outreach
specialists who work in the field. The book provides information on
training of postharvest trainers, food loss assessment methods,
capacity building in universities and agro-industry, distance
education methods, models for cost effective postharvest/food
processing extension work, success stories, and lessons learned
from past projects and programs. The book is divided into four
sections. Section I explains postharvest loss assessments methods,
Section II is on capacity building, and Sections III and IV focus
on training and postharvest extension models. Food loss assessment
methodologies are highlighted from several high-profile
institutions and it is envisioned that researchers and postharvest
extension personnel will benefit from the development and field
testing of a hybrid methodology, incorporating the strengths and
utilizing the best practices from each of the methodologies in
current use. Chapters cover postharvest extension work and capacity
building in a wide range of regions.
