R. K. Robinson在他的发人深省的《消失的收获物》一书的前言中写道:“在近20～30年间,农业生产率显著提高,但对保护作物免遭收获后损失的兴趣还从未有上述的势头。就收获过程的本质而言,农产品或动物产品的一些损失是不可避免的,但“农场门与消费者间”的可避免的损失却是人们真正关心的问题。 In his preface to his thought-provoking “lost harvest,” RK Robinson wrote: “Agricultural productivity has risen significantly in the last 20 to 30 years, but there has never been an interest in protecting crops from post-harvest losses The loss of agricultural products or animal products is inevitable in the nature of the harvest process, but the avoidable loss of ”farm gate to consumer" is a real concern.
