Why Reduce Postharvest Loss?Why Reduce Postharvest Loss?Some HypothesesSome Hypotheses
• Estimates suggest 1/3 of agricultural production is “wasted” and doesn’t reach food consumer
• Investment required to reduce PHL could be modest
• Technology advances should make reduction more feasible and less expensive
• Arable land, water, energy are in limited supply – reducing PHL can lessen pressure on scarce resources

MeasurementMeasurement
“What's measured improves” – Peter F. Drucker
"Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can't measure something, you can't understand it. If you can't understand it, you can't control it. If you can't control it, you can't improve it." – H. James Harrington
"What gets measured gets done, what gets measured and fed back gets done well, what gets rewarded gets repeated.“ – John E. Jones

For sound medium and long term planning, what do we need to know?
Location specific, timely and accurate information on rice production, supplies, and trends
In particular:
•What is the harvested area?
•When will it be harvested?
•What is the yield?
A combination of remote sensing and crop yield modeling can
provide this information under certain conditions

Open DataOpen Data
DefinitionDefinition
“Open data is often referred to as the concept that information should be freely available to the public, without restriction or charge for its use by others. In the food and agricultural realm, open data is an essential piece of finding the answers we’ll need to feed the world.” (USDA, 2013)
ActionsActions• Launched The Food, Agriculture, and Rural “data community”
on Data.gov• The Millennium Challenge Corporation released an open
evaluation data catalog• Launched USAID.gov/Developer

Closing CommentsClosing Comments
• Society’s future food security – daunting but done before
• Sustainable prevention of postharvest loss has potential to contribute to the challenge
• Substantial progress unlikely without innovation in measurement– Low cost– Systemic– ICT enabled
