Cut post-harvest losses

What you grow after the harvest — drying, storage, sorting — decides what you keep.

Why it matters.

A fifth of a harvest can die between field and market. Handling is harvest — and it's where the poorest margins hide.

The component skills.

Drying and moistureSorting and gradingStorage that keepsLoss measurement

Practise — activities that produce artifacts.

Drying done right ~90 min

For one crop, learn and apply the correct drying (sun/ shade/ raised bed as appropriate). Measure moisture the practical way before storage.

Artifact: Drying notes + moisture check

Count the loss, then cut it ~120 min

Weigh or count one batch at harvest and after storage. Identify where the loss happened. Apply one fix (sorting, container, spot) and measure the next batch.

Artifact: Two-batch loss measurements + the fix

Missions — do it for real.

Mentors for this capability.

Matched from real, opted-in DISHA members through the Mentor Intelligence Network — with their trust states shown as stored. Source-listed is not the same as verified.

No opted-in mentors match this capability yet — none are invented. See the Mentors view or the full directory.

How assessment works.

Every submission gets a transparent first-pass against the mission's rubric — what was looked for and what was observed. Verified state requires a real review; the system never upgrades self-reported evidence on its own.

accuracy

Concrete numbers, units and exact values instead of vague amounts

discipline

Consistency over time: dates, repetitions, streaks kept

evidence_quality

An observable artifact: worksheet, receipt, photo reference, recording note

follow_through

What happened afterwards — the result and what changed

process_correctness

Steps done in a sensible order, nothing skipped

Accepted evidence: mission_submission, mentor_review, observed_application, work_sample.

Stated plainly — what this doesn't do

  • — Submissions are private, self-reported evidence — they never become verified without a real review.
  • — Mentor review for capabilities arrives in a later phase of this module.
