How to reduce post-harvest losses using smart packaging focused on biobased and biodegradable polymers?

In Bangladesh, the substantial food wastage during the packaging phase highlights the urgent need for smart packaging solutions, particularly those employing biobased and biodegradable polymers. Addressing this issue involves developing packaging that not only reduces spoilage but is also environmentally sustainable. The challenge is to enhance local knowledge and application of such smart packaging technologies to effectively curb post-harvest losses and improve overall food preservation. Solving this problem is vital for enhancing food security, minimizing waste, and promoting sustainable practices in the agriculture sector.
