  1. 1. Post-Harvest Losses, Intimate Partner Violence and Food Security in Tanzania

    Författare :Martin Julius Chegere; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; post-harvest losses; intimate partner violence; hermetic bags; training; post-harvest handling pratices; randomised controlled trial; cost-benefit analysis;

    Sammanfattning : High levels of food losses occurring after harvesting offset the effort to increase food production. This situation increases the risk of food insecurity and low incomes among smallholder farmers. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Evaluation of supply chains and post-harvest losses of selected food commodities in Ethiopia

    Författare :Tadesse Kenea Amentae; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Supply chain management practices and losses in food value chains of three major food commodities in Ethiopia (milk, teff and warqe or enset) were evaluated in this thesis. Teff is a cereal, while warqe is a perennial plant from which the food products kocho and bulla are extracted. Teff, kocho and bulla are staple foods for many Ethiopians. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Supply and value chain analyses of warqe food products in relation to post-harvest losses

    Författare :Ashenafi Chaka Tuffa; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Post-harvest losses are a global problem and are of critical importance in food-insecure countries such as Ethiopia. Losses of root and tuber crops are known to be high in developing countries, where many of the population are dependent on these crops. Warqe (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a staple crop in Ethiopia. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Value chain and nutritional analyses of warqe food products in relation to post-harvest losses

    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Food losses and waste are global problems, but are particularly critical in food-insecure countries. Losses from root and tuber crops are known to be high in developing countries, where much of the population is dependent on these crops. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Supply chain management approach to reduce food losses : empirical results of selected food commodities in Ethiopia

    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Food loss is one of the heavy challenges to food security in low income countries. Inefficiencies and ineffectiveness of management in supply chains are considered as the major reasons for postharvest food losses. LÄS MER
