University of Michigan Study Finds Cold Chains Can Significantly Reduce Global Food Waste and Emissions

A new study by the University of Michigan, supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation and Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions, found that nearly half of the 1.3 billion tons of global food wasted each year could be prevented with fully refrigerated food supply chains. This is critical as about a third of the food produced worldwide is wasted annually, while approximately 800 million people suffer from hunger. The study also concluded that fully refrigerated supply chains have the potential to reduce global food waste-related emissions of climate-warming greenhouse gases by 41%.
