Post harvest management and value addition with special reference to asean co...Ramabhau Patil
1. The document discusses post-harvest management and value addition strategies with a focus on ASEAN countries. It summarizes production and post-harvest scenarios in India and key crops in ASEAN countries like rice, fruits and vegetables.
2. Reasons for post-harvest losses during handling and processing of agricultural produce are outlined. Higher value addition through improved post-harvest management can help reduce losses.
3. Common unit operations in post-harvest management of food grains, fruits and vegetables are described including harvesting, drying, storage and transportation methods.
Food processing transforms raw agricultural products into value-added products for human and animal consumption through processes like preservation, drying, and addition of food additives. This industry is significant as it promotes linkages between agriculture and industry, generating employment and income while reducing food waste and inflation. However, in India, processing levels remain low despite large agricultural production, and most processing is primary rather than higher value-added secondary processing. Challenges include traditional preferences, infrastructure gaps, and low consumer awareness, though government initiatives aim to address these through schemes supporting infrastructure, exports, and skills development.
Soil-based agriculture is now facing major challenges due to urbanization, industrialization and environmental degradation etc. Among different problems, the most important one is the decline in per capita land availability. With 6 billion people on earth, the per capita land availability is currently 0.25 hectares and by 2050 it will be 0.16 hectares. Climate change along with urbanization and industrialization magnifies this negative Impact. To counteract these threats, hydroponics has emerged as a viable option which is currently gaining popularity around the world due to its efficient resource management. Hydroponic farms offer a viable solution towards a more sustainable food production while avoiding hazardous chemicals due to controlled environments and strict certification laws. Far from being a dream, hydroponic farming is already integrated into sustainable agriculture in order to meet rising global food demand.
India is the second largest fruit producer in the world after China, producing 97.35 million metric tons annually. The major fruits produced in India are mango, banana, citrus, guava, and papaya. Fruits are an important part of the human diet as they provide essential nutrients like potassium, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals while being low in calories, fat, and sodium.
This document discusses factors that contribute to sustainable food production systems. It explains that climate, geography and geology influence agriculture in different regions, with some areas able to use almost all land for farming while others have limitations. Sustainable agriculture is defined as a system that satisfies food needs over the long term while conserving resources. Methods to improve sustainability include pest management, rotational grazing, soil conservation, and increasing crop diversity. The document also discusses aquaculture and concerns about effects of climate change on European agriculture. Achieving global food security by 2050 will require increased production while maintaining sustainability.

Food systems, food security and environmental changeIIED
This is a presentation given by Dr John Ingram of Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute (ECI) to a Critical Theme organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development on 12 February 2015.
Dr Ingram leads the Environmental Change Institute's Food Systems Research and Training Programme, which aims to increase understanding of the interactions between food security and environmental change. The programme's research products have been adopted by national and international organisations, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the UK and Dutch governments.
In his presentation, Ingram looked at food system activities and 'planetary boundaries' – the safe operating space for humanity with respect to the earth's biophysical systems. If these planetary boundaries are crossed, then important subsystems, such as a monsoon system, could shift into a new state. Such shifts could have damaging consequences, including undermining the environmental conditions and the natural resource base on which our food security depends.

Mango processing is a traditional activity in India that can be profitable. Unripe mangoes can be processed into shelf-stable products like pickles, chutneys, and murabbas. A mango processing business could be started in Bihar and Jharkhand, which have ample mango production. The business would require investments in machinery, building space, raw materials, and labor. With an annual production capacity of 48 tons and sales of Rs. 10.4 lacs in the first year, the business is projected to be profitable with an internal rate of return of around 17%.
Food losses and waste occur throughout the food supply chain from production to consumption. Globally about 1.3 billion tonnes of food, or roughly one-third of total food produced, is lost or wasted each year. Losses in developing countries primarily occur during production, storage, and transportation due to limitations in infrastructure and technology. In developed countries, waste mainly happens at the retail and consumer levels due to issues like consumer behavior and confusion over product date labels. Reducing losses and waste could help improve global food security while also protecting environmental resources.
The document discusses emerging food processing technologies that can help reduce post-harvest losses of fruits and vegetables in India. It provides an overview of technologies like ohmic heating, microwave heating, pulsed electric field, high pressure processing, ultrasound, and pulsed light and explains their principles, components, applications, advantages, and limitations. These emerging technologies can help maintain the quality and safety of foods while being more energy efficient alternatives to conventional thermal processing methods.
