Summary of the project
In the agriculture value chain, post-harvest loss management has emerged as one of the primary priorities in terms of building replicable and scalable models across different geographies. The aim is to create replicable models to diversify income and reduce wastage of agricultural products in the country. In the absence of facilities - proper storage, transportation and processing for value addition, and amidst vulnerable ecosystems, the livelihoods of farmers of perishable commodities such as fruits and vegetables could be in jeopardy. The mere deployment of the technological solution does not enable stakeholders to effectively utilize the solutions. The enabling environment around the solution needs to be strengthened through required training and capacity building to ensure utilization and create robust business models by establishing strong and remunerative forward market linkages.
SELCO Foundation has been working with individual farmers, FPOs, SHGs and FIGs on reducing the post-harvest losses in a sustainable manner by promoting clean energy technologies/solutions. In this regard SF has supported farming and non-farming communities to have access to DRE driven Agri Cooling infrastructure directly with the intent to scale across all relevant contexts and ecosystems.
We intend to generate video collateral collecting the evidence of financial transactions and commodity mapping with DRE based technological solutions in Post Harvest Loss Management of Agriculture and Horticulture crops through farmer voices and perspectives.
This proposal intends to capture videos regarding their learnings on financial aspect, commodity transactions, and impact that technologies created in their livelihood etc. This will help to create awareness among the communities to scale and replicate solutions across geographies, this will reduce post-harvest losses and enhance value addition activities in a sustainable manner.
Goals
The program seeks to capture evidence on how sustainable and technological innovations combined with appropriate financial and ownership models can lead to a demonstrable increase in resilience and safety nets for small farmers. This kind of documentation and evidence building will create awareness on DRE driven PHLM technologies among stakeholders – farmers, financial institutions, Government departments and this will strengthen financial linkages for the end users.
Thus, SELCO Foundation is seeking proposals from qualified firms or individuals to produce a comprehensive video documentary showcasing the working and operations of Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) based post-harvest loss management solutions (mainly cold storage, dryer, grader) implemented for tomato, potato, and other fruits & vegetables in selected geographies. The documentary aims to highlight the utilization level, usage frequency, commodities stored in cold storage, financial cash flows, and operational challenges faced by beneficiaries. This program is to upskill regarding sustainable energy-driven PHLM solutions and implement through an ecosystem-based approach to strengthen the value chain for different livelihood activities via local ecosystem and institutional building efforts.
It intends to understand the present infrastructures, gaps and present operation cum business models to derive the scope for technology innovation to enable access to more sustainable, reliable, and affordable local infrastructure to the community's needs. These videos are intended for 1. Business entrepreneurs (farmers or aggregators) who would like to take up such solutions 2. who are existing entrepreneurs using this technology but need support to increase utilization with exposure best scenarios and practices.
Selection Criteria:
The proposal will be evaluated based on the following general areas:
• Agency will be evaluated on the basis of prior work experience, portfolio, and wide experience in curating content both photo and videos
• Agency to understand the core value and mission of the organization, Selco Foundation
• Agency to understand the aims and objectives of the Post Harvest Loss Management solutions
• Agency to have a qualified team with relevant experience
