| Abstract
|
The development and first implementation of RLAT focused on maize. This toolbox builds on the recomendations of the RLAT guide on how to approach
food losses using participatory methods and biophysical measurements and provides guidance on specific participatory methods and biophysical
measures that were found to be suitable to evaluate food losses of maize in Ghana. This toolbox can be adapted to other crop and livestock value chains (VC) and the local situation.
The adaptation of the tool requires excellent knowledge of the VC in question and should be performed by proficient VC experts.
