Training community on Post-harvest techniques, Pests and Disease management and food processing

Agriculture plays a crucial role in economic development and has been the backbone of civilizations throughout history, providing sustenance and livelihoods to communities worldwide.

Post-harvest practice is key in keeping the harvested produce’s quality. Poor post-harvest practices and storage could lead to damage to yield, resulting in a huge loss. The post-harvest practice is the transformation of agricultural products into food, or from one form of food into other forms.

To instill post harvest techniques within the communities and also built capacity of the community members living in the White-bellied Heron Landscape, a two-day training on Post-harvest techniques, Pests and Disease management and food processing was provided. The training was attended by 44 (male 11 & 33 female) community members from Nimshong Toe and Moe chiwogs under Korphu gewog, Trongsa district.

It is funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), Germany through International Climate Initiative (IKI) with co-funding from MAVA Foundation, Switzerland and the Royal Society for Protection of Nature (RSPN).
