Book offer
Jonathan Donahaye did send the following offer to INPhO:
"Dr Navarro and myself are co editors of a 559 page book entitled "Proceedings of an International Conference on Controlled Atmosphere and Fumigation in Grain Storages (CAF Conference)" . The Conference was held in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada in June 1992, and brought together the latest research on these subjects, in the form of papers presented by researchers from many countries. We still have a considerable number of volumes at hand which we are willing to offer gratis, including surface mail to any interested parties subscribing to INPhO."

Great news from INPhO
We are very happy to announce the release of the "Traditional Storage" and the "Image Gallery" databases today. In the INPhO Image Gallery you find almost 500 photos, drawings and graphs related to a wide range of post-harvest system topics. You can search the Gallery be choosing topics, countries and/or commodities. The Traditional Storage Database was developed to allow you to learn about existing, traditional storage technologies to adapt and improve them for the today local use. It is searchable by country, stored products, building material and ethnic group. While looking around the two new elements you will find many linkages between them, e.g. a selection of photos and drawings from the "Image Gallery" is offered to you when you look at the dataset of a storage item. Online input forms for the new elements will follow in future.
In order to improve our developments we invite and ask you to send all your comments, suggestion and problems with the databases to us. As INPhO is a collaborative approach we offer you to use our database structures for your local use in exchange for data you put into this structure. If you wish to learn more about this possibility of cooperation please contact us.
Besides these new database elements we wish to inform you that in the Virtual Library you now find the "Guidelines for the Analysis of Post-production Systems" a collaboration product between GTZ and FAO.
