Towards a net-zero supply chain for the Food Industry
Globally, the food system accounted for about 30% of total energy consumption and 20% of GHG emissions in 2011 (FAO, 2016). The supply chain, especially cold chain (temperature-controlled supply chain, including fridge, freezer, refrigerated truck/van cold box etc.) is a key player in ensuring food quality and safety.
