PostHarvest arose from the vision of a cost-effective world-class training course in all things fresh produce and the food supply chain.

John Shannon, CEO of PostHarvest, grew up in clean green New Zealand, often picking fruit at his friend’s family farm in the summer holidays. He saw first-hand how much fresh produce would overripen in storage and be thrown away before it had the chance of being eaten.

It wasn’t until many years later that he found this issue wasn’t an isolated occurrence but the entire world was dealing with this problem. Nearly half of all fresh produce is lost before it even meets the markets globally. That produce is thrown into landfills, begins to rot, and creates methane. This creates a larger carbon footprint than the entire airline industry, costing our planet over $1 trillion dollars in losses each year.
