Post-harvest loss (PHL) estimates are distressingly high considering the current and estimated future need for food to sustain a global population estimated to increase over 9 billion by 2050. These losses represent food already in the production system that could have been used to reduce food insecurity and hunger and to increase food quality/safety, nutrition, and market opportunities for the small landholder. This presentation will provide an overview of on-going and planned activities and collaborations in the context of the larger global discussion on global food and nutrition security.
