Our team

We are the FreshKnowledge team from Wageningen UR (WUR). We work to bring practical knowledge about post-harvest management of fresh products to all actors in the postharvest community. The ultimate goal is to bring high quality and tasty produce to the market with minimum food losses in the supply chain. The information we provide is independent, substantiated, up-to-date, complete, relevant and concrete. Do you want to know more? Please contact us!
