About the Author: Prof. Dr. Olaniyi Amos FawoleProf. Fawole earned his PhD in Horticultural Sciences, specialising in Postharvest Technology, Agroprocessing, and Food Circular Bioeconomy from Stellenbosch University. Over the years, he has focused his research and impact on preserving and adding value to nutritious food crops to improve health outcomes and promote food security. Recognizing the critical link between quality education and food security, he has dedicated his efforts to equipping future generations with the knowledge and skills necessary to drive sustainable food systems. As the Founding Director of the Postharvest and Agroprocessing Research Centre (PARC) and the SARChI Chair in Sustainable Preservation & Agroprocessing Research (SPAR) at the University of Johannesburg (UJ), Prof. Fawole has been an important figure in fostering innovation that bridges education and food security. His work supports small-scale farmers and commercial stakeholders with knowledge and practical solutions to reduce food loss and waste through agroprocessing and sustainable postharvest practices. He is also a strong advocate for the role of education in enhancing agricultural productivity and improving food security outcomes. He has published over 240 indexed articles and has successfully graduated 40 postgraduate students, with 28 currently under his supervision. His contributions have earned him a B2 rating, a rating category reserved for internationally acclaimed researchers by the National Research Foundation of South Africa. Prof. Fawole is an active leader in his field, collaborating with various organizations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the African Union Commission (AUC), and the World Academy of Sciences. His expertise and leadership abilities have earned him positions on several boards, including being a Technical Board Member of the global organization CIGR Section VI and an Advisory Committee Member of the Food Loss and Waste Initiative of the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa.Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ibrahim KahramanogluIbrahim Kahramanoglu was born in 1984 in Northern Cyprus.
