Resumen
Descripción
While research on the improvement of agricultural production has received
considerable attention and funding, until recently postharvest activities have not
attracted much attention from international research organizations. However,
there is an emerging consensus on the critical role that postharvest systems can
play in meeting the overall goals of food security, poverty alleviation and
sustainable agriculture particularly in developing countries. This study provides
preliminary evidence on the impact of postharvest research on these goals;
furthermore the study argues that postharvest research at international
agricultural research organizations is justified by its international public good
nature.
