Deadline- 4 August 2014
Lost harvest and wasted food course is being organized by Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation which will be conducted from 15 September 2014 until Fri 26 September 2014. The objective of this training program is to strengthen insights to reduce the food lost.
The training approach is interactive: Mixture of lectures will be used, discussions, group work and field trips with the aim to expose applicants, 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 learning. Participants’ case studies are the basis of the group work.
Objectives-
- understand the link between primary production, post-harvest management, the supply chain and food security;
- be familiar with alternative uses of food waste;
- have insight in the public and private responsibilities in the supply chain for post-harvest handling and food waste management;
- be able to design solutions for minimising the amount of ‘missing food’, from smallholders to multinational retailers.
Eligibility & Criteria-
The basic prerequisite for participation in the course is an active interest and professional experience in this field. Participants should be proficient in English, and have at least a BSc Degree or an equivalent academic qualification.
