Cold Chain Fights Hunger

Global Cold Chain Alliance President J. William Hudson recently testified before the United Nations on the role logistics firms play in fighting hunger.

In his testimony, Hudson said, “While it is extremely important to improve crop genetics, expand the use of proper farming equipment and increase processing and worker productivity, these improvements will be wasted if we lose 30% to 60% of the products due to spoilage and damage before they get to the consumer. These post-harvest losses are even more significant when you consider the lost labor, water, seeds and fertilizer invested in the growing process.”
