The UC Davis Chimney Dryer and DryCard - tools for implementing the dry chain

摘要

In 2005, the Global Horticulture Assessment funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, and incorporating insights from more than 750 horticulturists worldwide, recommended that USAID should fund a Collaborative Research Support Program in Horticulture (HortCRSP) designed to "provide the research, capacity building and knowledge extension support essential for the development of the global horticulture sector". The HortCRSP, now the Horticulture In novation Lab, was establ ished i n 2009at the University of California, Davis, with funding from USAID. Now in its 8th year, the program supports research collaborations between U.S. universities and research and educational institutions in the developing world, as part of the U.S. government's "Feed the Future" global hunger and food security initiative.
