Harnessing Yield Postharvest through On-farm​ Storage And Value Enhancement

Objetivo

EU farmers face major challenges from volatile and low prices, while environmental and climate regulations require substantial investments and create significant risks. Their position is increasingly vulnerable both socially and economically. The HYPOSAVE project will improve farmers’ income in the horticultural value chain by transforming on-farm postharvest operations. It will develop and disseminate modular, state-of-the-art technologies for handling, storage, and processing of economically important fruit and vegetable crops. These solutions will be compatible with both organic and conventional production systems and applicable to food and non-food products. Innovations include digital tools and AI, sensors, smart packaging, low-energy storage technologies, green sanitation methods, valorisation of waste streams in a circular economy context, and on-farm food fermentation processes.
HYPOSAVE will foster innovation across 2 million farms, representing 30 % of European fruit and vegetable production, valued at over €100 billion, in four distinct European regions. Expected outcomes include a reduction of 5.1 million tonnes of food losses and 4.2 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, improved product quality, diversification of income, higher resource efficiency, lower pesticide and plastic use, stronger circular practices, and enhanced market competitiveness through new business models for food and non-food value chains (Figure 1).
Through its members, the multi-actor HYPOSAVE consortium spans 16 EU member countries. Through an interdisciplinary, multi-actor approach, HYPOSAVE will engage farmers, cooperatives, and SMEs in co-developing and validating innovations. By aligning with the European Green Deal and CAP objectives, and by supporting uptake through financial instruments for third parties, HYPOSAVE will ensure practical relevance, broad stakeholder engagement, and measurable environmental and economic impact across diverse horticultural contexts.
