Wasted Food- The Solution
The Problem:
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) nearly one third of the food produced around the world is wasted. The average household throws out $1600 per year, just in produce. Then add in your grocery stores, diners, farms and manufacturers that equates to nearly 931 million tons per year. What causes food waste? Life cycle of foods, worker shortages, transportation shortages, refrigeration challenges.
The solution:
Freeze Drying Food
- Creates a light, stable product with long shelf life.
- Physical structure of product remains unchanged.
- Refrigeration and preservatives are unnecessary.
- Volume remains without changes to pliability.
- Fast preparation reconstituting with water.
- Long-lasting preservation and spoilage protection.
Therefore, there may be substantial environmental, social, and economic advantages to reducing food waste at all levels, including consumer and domestic levels.
Freeze Drying foods could decrease problems worldwide including hunger in low poverty areas without refrigeration solutions, in extreme cold temperature areas, reduce emissions and decrease waste in general.
