International Journal of Postharvest Technology and Innovation (IJPTI)
http://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalCODE=ijpti

IJPTI offers a scientific forum for dissemination of innovative researchfindings and industry best practices on postharvest handling techniques,agro-processing and marketing of food and biological products of plant andanimal origin. IJPTI will address scientific, engineering, technological,policy and developmental issues pertaining to postharvest management aimedat reducing the incidence of food losses, maintenance and assurance ofquality, safety and traceability of products. Particular emphasis will be given to postharvest innovation, thetransformation of knowledge and technologies into useful products andservices in agri-food/biological industries, as a key driver of economic growth and improved standards of living in rural-based economies. The objective of IJPTI is to establish an effective and timely channel for multidisciplinary communication between experts in academic and research institutions, practitioners and professionals working agriculture/horticulture and related industries, policy makers, government,and non-governmental agencies involved in postharvest technology andagro-industrial development. It also provides a forum to present and discuss best practices in postharvest technology as a strategy for linking farmers to markets using appropriate technologies for product quality maintenance, quantity conservation, value-addition and marketing. Special attention will be paid to research findings and innovative best practices which have practical application to reduce the incidence of losses, maintain product quality, extend shelf-life and enhance the marketing potential of fresh and processed food products. Industry practitioners, including rural development agencies, can show case successful postharvest technology interventions and their impacts in income generation, employment, poverty alleviation and improvement of food security in developing and transitional countries. Articles that demonstrate the economic and nutritional potential of underutilised and under exploited species (both plant and animal) and novel food process technologies to improve food value, enhance food security,reduce malnutrition and alleviate poverty are welcome. IJPTI will promote the adoption of improved postharvest techniques and procedures and a total systems approach as strategies for linking resource-poor farmers to markets based on the premise that knowledge sharing and innovation is a pillar for sustaining the livelihood of farmers and postharvest operators.
