Focus area 02
Food Loss Reduction & Circular Food Systems
Save more food. Create more value.
The challenge and our response
Food losses after harvest reduce household incomes, waste land and water resources and limit access to nutritious food. Tech4Village supports community-level solutions that help farmers, producer groups and small enterprises preserve, process, store and market more of what they grow. We also encourage productive uses for unavoidable organic residues.
Priority interventions
- Solar drying and preservation demonstrations
- Improved handling, sorting, packaging and storage
- Small-scale food processing and value addition
- Market information and aggregation tools
- Circular use of agricultural and food residues
