Post-Harvest Preservation & Processing
A critical vulnerability in regional food security is the high percentage of crop degradation following field harvests. CE-AFSN investigates sustainable post-harvest technologies, modern low-cost cold storage architectures, and biological insect control methods.
Our research optimizes the journey of staple grains, dairy products, and poultry value chains from farm gates to urban markets—ensuring affordable, high-quality nutrition reaches local consumers safely and efficiently.
