Post-harvest food loss in West Africa is estimated at between 10% and 40%, depending on who is talking. No matter the actual figure, crop loss at any level is a serious problem in a region that, for the most part, experiences consistent food shortages. Low tech (plastic bags); low cost (about $200 for a demonstration); and highly effective, if the excitement of the women I saw is anything to go by. This short video was compiled from stills shot by WASA's COP, Edo Lin and Peter Bloch, and the soundtrack is a recording of the reactions to the demonstration.
