USING POST-HARVEST TECHNOLOGIES TO MITIGATE CLIMATE RISKS IN FOOD SYSTEMS FOR IMPROVED FOOD SECURITY & LIVELIHOODS: Hermetic Storage Technologies in Kenya and Uganda
This policy brief examines the role of Hermetic Storage Technologies (HSTs) in mitigating climate-driven post-harvest losses in Kenya and Uganda. It argues that climate change increases pest and disease pressure, leading to significant grain losses and food safety risks like aflatoxin contamination. The document recommends the adoption of quality standards, increased farmer education on correct usage, and the removal of VAT to make HSTs more affordable for smallholder farmers.
