University of Nairobi Postharvest Program portal is a one-stop resource platform hosting information on training, research, and outreach activities in postharvest management. The portal highlights the activities of the multi-disciplinary University of Nairobi Postharvest Research Team.

The team is actively engaged in basic and applied research to find context-specific solutions for postharvest loss reduction in sustainable food systems. Apart from research, the team is also involved in capacity building and training of agricultural/food sector practitioners including farmers, processors, traders, transporters, extension agents among others. This is in addition to training of students who constitute the next generation of food and agriculture sector practitioners.

The team’s outreach initiatives have seen them engage with farmers and other practitioners in a bid to bridge the gap between researchers and the end users of the research outputs – ‘lab to land’. This has contributed to scaling up and increased adoption of technologies and innovations for postharvest loss reduction.
