Thesis Abstract

Post-harvest losses in agriculture pose a significant challenge to global food security and economic sustainability. These losses occur at various stages, including harvesting, handling, transportation, and storage of agricultural produce. Implementing sustainable agricultural practices can help reduce post-harvest losses and improve food availability. This abstract explores the importance of addressing post-harvest losses, identifies the major causes of losses, and highlights sustainable practices that can be adopted to mitigate these losses. The abstract also discusses the potential benefits of reducing post-harvest losses, such as increased food availability, improved income for farmers, and reduced environmental impact.
