Promising new technologies in the postharvest domain

At this year's 4-day Postharvest Technology course, Wageningen University highlights new technologies within the postharvest domain that are likely to enter commercial practice within 5 years.

Experts of WUR pitch on the use of the following new technologies:

LED light treatments before and after harvest to improve product quality.
Advanced vision and near infrared technology for non-destructive quality measurements of fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants.
Improved automation, robotisation and “deep learning” technologies for sorting and objective quality control.
Use of Big Data and ”Baysian networks” for product quality prediction.

New in the programme is also a contribution on the use of genetic variation and breeding to improve postharvest quality.

Join the course from 10-13 October 2017 and learn the fundamental basics, best practices (incl. excursions) and need to know latest insight on the physiology and current technologies of storage, packaging and handling of fresh produce.
