We do so because huge losses and rodent-borne diseases can be catastrophic to the livelihoods of the poor. The aim is to develop strategies for prevention of post-harvest losses by rodents from farm to fork. We try to ensure that stakeholders throughout the food chain (smallholder farmers, traders, millers), policy makers and extension specialists are provided with appropriate tools and information to manage post-harvest losses caused by rodents using cost-effective, sustainable and ecologically-based strategies. This will lead to a significant reduction of spoilt food and less environmental damage. By directly involving a local SME, this project will not only generate information in terms of ecology of rodents and reliable calculations of post-harvest losses, possible interventions and new information on sociological aspects of rodent control, but also put its results into practice (concrete actions).
