Sustainable Post-Harvest and Value Addition Practices in Agriculture: A Review

Résumé

Post-harvest losses remain a principal problem in agriculture, resulting in serious economic and food security issues. Sustainable post-harvest handling and value addition measures can provide efficient means of reducing losses, improving product shelf life, and increasing farmers' incomes. This review discusses some principal sustainable practices in harvesting, handling, storage, transport, processing, and packaging of agricultural produce. Focus is given to environmentally friendly, affordable, and scalable technologies that minimize waste and impart economic value to primary products. Policy interventions, capacity building, and market linkages required for encouraging adoption among smallholder farmers are also covered in the paper. Finally, sustainable post-harvest and value addition strategies are critical for ensuring food security, minimizing environmental footprint, and encouraging inclusive agricultural development.
