    El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo proporcionar conocimientos para la implementación de proyectos de biodigestión en diferentes escalas, para el uso energético del biogás y la revalorización económica de los efluentes orgánicos. Además, se propone difundir los conceptos teóricos y la tecnología de biodigestión anaeróbica práctica. En ese sentido, el trabajo se dividió en cuatro módulos: el primero explica los conceptos básicos de la digestión anaeróbica y caracteriza diferentes tipos de biodigestores; la segunda analiza la composición y los usos del biogás y digiere; el tercero se centra en las cuestiones esenciales para el diseño de un biodigestor y el cuarto se introduce en los cálculos de rendimiento. Finalmente, se proporciona un manual de instrucciones en el Anexo para el diseño de digestores domiciliarios y en lotes, para laboratorio.

    Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
    2019
    Also available in:
    The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.

    Processing of fresh-cut tropical fruits and vegetables: A technical guide 2010
    Also available in:

    There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale.
