Postharvest technologies and techniques to improve the quality of fresh fruits and vegetables

Build a locally-focused yet nationally renowned postharvest program at the Tifton Campus that will act as a hub to transfer knowledge between applied science and the strong Georgia Ag sector. Collaborate with colleagues from UGA and other universities nationally and internationally in order to foster interdisciplinary collaborations to produce scientifically based results that will be in turn disseminated to the State of Georgia produce industries.
