Obiettivo Cassava and yam are important food security crops for approximately 700 million people. Post-harvest losses are significant and come in the three forms: (a) physical; (b) economic through discounting or processing into low value products and (c) from bio-wastes. This project aims to reduce these losses to enhance the role that these crops play in food and income security.Post-harvest physical losses are exceptionally high (ca. 30% in cassava and 60% in yam) and occur throughout the food chain. Losses in economic value are also high (e.g. cassava prices discounted by up to 85% within a couple of days of harvest). Wastes come in various forms e.g. peeling losses can be 15-20%. Waste often has no economic value which can make processing a marginal business proposition.South-south learning is a feature of the project – with partners in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Cassava and yam are contrasting in terms of their use and these differences will contribute to developing a comprehensive approach to reducing losses. Technologies and systems will be developed, validated, demonstrated and disseminated that focus benefits on small-holder households whilst offering increased income earning opportunities through SME development and links to large scale industry. These contribute to the comprehensiveness of the approach, and provide diverse learning opportunities and allow examination of losses in a wider food security context.There are 3 impact pathways:1. reduction of physical losses – focussing on fresh yams storage2. value added processing reducing physical and economic losses in yam and cassava.3. improved utilisation of wastes (peels, liquid waste, spent brewery waste) producing products for human consumption including snack foods, mushrooms and animal feed.Cross-cutting are issues of food safety, enterprise development and practical demonstration.It is aimed to validate technologies capable of reducing losses by an equivalent of at least 50% Campo scientifico engineering and technologyother engineering and technologiesfood technologyfood safetymedical and health scienceshealth sciencesnutritionagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculturehorticulturevegetable growingroot cropsagricultural sciencesanimal and dairy sciencedomestic animalsanimal husbandryanimal feed Programma(i) FP7-KBBE - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology Argomento(i) KBBE.2011.2.5-02 - Reducing post-harvest losses for increased food security — SICA Invito a presentare proposte FP7-KBBE-2011-5 Vedi altri progetti per questo bando Meccanismo di finanziamento CP-FP-SICA - Small/medium-scale focused research project for specific cooperation actions dedicated to international cooperation partner countries(SICA) Coordinatore UNIVERSITY OF GREENWICH Contributo UE € 763 630,00 Indirizzo PARK ROW GREENWICH OLD ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE SE10 9LS London Regno Unito Mostra sulla mappa Regione London Outer London — East and North East Bexley and Greenwich Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato Partecipanti (15) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto STICHTING WAGENINGEN RESEARCH Paesi Bassi Contributo UE € 263 374,00 Indirizzo DROEVENDAALSESTEEG 4 6708 PB Wageningen Mostra sulla mappa Regione Oost-Nederland Gelderland Veluwe Tipo di attività Research Organisations Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato UNIVERSIDADE CATOLICA PORTUGUESA Portogallo Contributo UE € 218 519,00 Indirizzo PALMA DE CIMA 1649 023 Lisboa Mostra sulla mappa Regione Continente Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato ACCORD ASSOCIATES LLP Regno Unito Contributo UE € 91 800,00 Indirizzo TEDDINGTON PARK ROAD 111 TW11 8NG TEDDINGTON Mostra sulla mappa Tipo di attività Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato SABMILLER PLC Regno Unito Contributo UE € 62 499,00 Indirizzo SABMILLER HOUSE, CHURCH STREET WEST GU21 4DB WOKING Mostra sulla mappa Tipo di attività Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE ABEOKUTA Nigeria Contributo UE € 386 300,00 Indirizzo ALABATA ROAD OGUN STATE 110001 Abeokuta Mostra sulla mappa Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato COUNCIL FOR SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH Ghana Contributo UE € 350 850,00 Indirizzo AGOSTINO NETO ROAD 15 Accra Mostra sulla mappa Tipo di attività Research Organisations Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato FEDERAL MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Nigeria Contributo UE € 74 800,00 Indirizzo FEDERAL SECRETARIAT TOWERS SHEHU SHAGARI WAY CENTRAL AREA ABUJA Mostra sulla mappa Tipo di attività Public bodies (excluding Research Organisations and Secondary or Higher Education Establishments) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato NATIONAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY Thailandia Contributo UE € 233 747,00 Indirizzo PHAHOLYOTHIN ROAD 111 THAILAND SCIENCE PARK 12120 Klong 1 Klongluang Mostra sulla mappa Tipo di attività Research Organisations Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato ST.
