　　Hasifa Nakaziba, a member of seven, has relied on farming corn and beans to support her family for years. But each year she would lose 30% of her harvest as pests affected her grain, taking their share of the food before it reached the dinner table

　　“From nowhere rats, chickens and insects would come and eat it，” said Nakaziba, who lives in Nambale village, about 85 miles east of the capital, Kampala.

　　Like many farmers, Nakaziba, 47, lacked some drying facilities(设施) for the grain and so would dry it on the ground before storage, unaware that this could lead to deadly destruction of the grain.

　　Her inability to safely store her harvest also forced her to sell her grain early, which meant Nakaziba received a very low price from the local market. “It affected our income, food security and also the education of our children，” she says.

　　Then in 2017 Nakaziba's life changed. She received training in post­harvest handling from the UN's World Food Programme(WFP), which launched an operation designed to reduce post­harvest food losses for 16,600 low­income farmers in Uganda by providing them with simple storage facilities, such as granaries and grain storage bags. In a workshop, Nakaziba learned how to improve her farm management practices and purchase new technology storage and handling equipment.
