Improving food security and livelihoods through interventions to reduce postharvest losses in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia

Project overview

Despite continued global investments in improving the productivity of agricultural systems, substantial portions of food crops are then lost at and after harvest. This project focuses on identifying evidence-backed, feasible strategies for reducing postharvest losses (PHL) of key food crops in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Outputs from the project include a systematic scoping review of research literature on reducing PHL, a report—informed by key informant interviews in five focal countries—on the current landscape of postharvest interventions, and a summary report that focuses on the most promising interventions for each crop group and postharvest activity stage identified through the review and landscaping work.
