Enhancing Food Security | Dr. Gopinadhan Paliyath
The talk and the presentation are about food insecurity which will only increase with the population and climate change, rendering more and more land non-arable. Politicians, policy makers and industries are discussing the need for increased food production, paying little attention to the prevention of loss or waste of food. The highly perishable fruits and vegetables are susceptible to the biggest losses, touching almost 50% in tropical countries such as India, where refrigeration facilities are only starting to be utilized.
