SUMMARY:2017 Course on Lost harvest and wasted food
DESCRIPTION:Stark contrasts exist in how we manage the food we have av
 ailable. While in developing and transition countries food losses main
 ly happen post-harvest, in the urban and wealthier communities good fo
 od is wasted in retail stages of the supply chain and by consumers. St
 rategies to minimize food losses and waste along the chain can contrib
 ute to food security and sustainable food production.\nIn this course,
  we will look at ways to minimise losses, reduce food waste and explor
 e alternative uses. Ultimately, reduction of losses contributes to foo
 d security.\n\nDuring the course we will critically analyse the crop s
 upply chain, and design sustainable alternatives with special attentio
 n to harvest practices, storage, spoilage and food waste management. T
 he role and responsibilities of the various stakeholders will be addre
 ssed.\n\nThe training approach is interactive: we will use a mixture o
 f lectures, discussions, group work and field trips with the aim to ex
 pose you, as far as possible, to all aspects of post-harvest and waste
  management. Meeting course colleagues from other countries, but with 
 similar interests, leads to exchange of experiences and mutual learnin
 g. Participants’ case studies are the basis of the group work.\n\nCo
 urse objectives\nUpon completion of the course you will:\n\nunderstand
  the link between primary production, post-harvest management, the sup
 ply chain and food security;\nbe familiar with alternative uses of foo
 d waste;\nhave insight into the public and private responsibilities in
  the supply chain for post-harvest handling and food waste management;
 \nbe able to design solutions for minimising the amount of ‘missing 
 food’, from smallholders to multinational retailers.\n\nTarget audie
 nce\nThe basic prerequisite for participation in the course is active 
 interest and professional experience in this field. Participants shoul
 d be proficient in English, and have at least a BSc degree or an equiv
 alent academic qualification.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information visit
