FORQLAB, the Food Waste Reduction and Food Quality Living Lab works together on two action research questions for the avocado and dairy sectors in Kenya : what technical interventions and what governance interventions are required to encourage safe products and reduce food losses? The FORQLAB partners are Meru university and Egerton university in Kenya, and four Dutch universities of applied sciences: Van Hall Larenstein, HAS Green Academy, InHolland and AERES. These partners will engage with seven Kenyan farmer cooperatives and their business partners in the avocado export and domestic dairy sectors.
