One of the challenges that confront most of us during the Holiday season is having some leftover foods piling up in our fridge.

In 1945, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UNFAO) declared October 16 as “World Food Day.” Seventy-two years from such declaration, food remains elusive for millions of people worldwide, especially in countries that are colonies and neo-colonies like the Philippines.

One of the problems that confront our farmers is the lack of post-harvest facilities?, from the very staple rice and corn to a more complex and highly perishable vegetables and even meat storage and processing.
