Reduction of Post Harvest Losses and Value Addition in East African Food Value Chains - RELOAD

Description: Das Projekt "Reduction of Post Harvest Losses and Value Addition in East African Food Value Chains - RELOAD" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Universität Kassel, Fachgruppe Boden- und Pflanzenbauwissenschaften, Fachgebiet Agrartechnik.Post-Harvest Losses (PHL) destroy between 20 and 60% of the East-African food production, thus heavily contributing to the devastating nutritional situation. They represent an unacceptable waste of scarce resources (soil, water, labour, seeds, fertilizers), and aggravate rural poverty, as they impede income generation along the food value chain. RELOAD proposes to establish a development oriented inter- and transdisciplinary African-German Research Network in Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia, to address reduction of PHL and enhancing value addition. The applying consortium comprises 3 German and 6 African universities, research institutions and private sector representatives (SME). RELOADs integrated approach addresses the whole food value chain, including scientific base, capacity building, handling and processing at smallholder level, transport, storage, processing and market access. The referring target groups comprise East-African scientific networks, administrations, SMEs, farmers and civil society actors. The simultaneous treatment of agricultural, technological, economic and social issues allows for an efficient and sustainable improvement of the East African food system.
