Ensuring Food Security by ELIMINATING Wastage
The post-pandemic world is poised for a great reset that could trigger a global upheaval in food production, supply and end-consumer access. While some organisations have been claiming that climate change is responsible for these developing scenarios, scientists in the field of meteorology, geoengineering research and agriculture reveal otherwise. The latter maintain that a real-world and scientific approach to increasing food production, and tech-enabled storage while reducing food wastage is the key factor in preventing food scarcity. Food processing companies have called for collective action in tackling food security and food safety, many of whom are actively investing in their R&D, launching innovative solutions and making significant efforts in cutting down food loss. However, it’s important to mention that the global efforts in this space are markedly high as compared
to the Indian market, primarily in terms of launching new technologies and solutions.
Although the attempts can be seen at the academic level in India, it’s high time for Indian companies to look into R&D investments in this matter. Let’s explore this further.
