Brief Description
This is the Study 3 of the project "Development and Assessment of Organic Production Management Technologies for Rice-based and Upland Agroecosystem".
This activity will deal on developing potential post-production handling strategies that are organic in nature to prolong the shelf life or storability of organically produced products. Harvesting and handling/storing techniques, different packaging materials, and use of indigenous materials (i.e. plant extracts) will be the possible areas to be explored and evaluated.
