Technical Platform on the Measurement and Reduction of Food Loss and Waste

Lost harvest and wasted food (2016)

Wageningen (Netherlands), 12/09/2016 - 23/09/2016

In this course, we will look at ways to minimise losses, reduce food waste and explore alternative uses. Ultimately, reduction of losses contributes to food security.

During the course we will critically analyse the crop supply chain, and design sustainable alternatives with special attention to harvest practices, storage, spoilage and food waste management. The role and responsibilities of the various stakeholders will be addressed.

Deadline for application: 01 August 2016.
