At the 27th COP to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change held at Sharm El-Sheikh of Egypt, the “Sustainable Food Cold Chains: Opportunities, Challenges and the Way Forward” report was launched.
Cold chains in the food processing, packaging, distribution and consumption systems are critical for pulling millions of people out of the cycle of hunger and poverty.
These will help meet the challenge of feeding an additional two billion people by 2050.
Food loss and waste also accounted for 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
