Comment l’agriculture sous chaîne du froid réduit le gaspillage alimentaire & Augmente les bénéfices
Every year about onethird of the food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted—around 1.3 billion tonnes globally. In Africa alone, up to 40 % of perishable crops spoil after harvest. Cold chain agriculture—the practice of maintaining precise temperatures from farm to plate—addresses this crisis by preserving quality and reducing waste. Without robust temperature control, microbial growth accelerates and spoilage rates soar; in some regions improper cold chain management accounts for up to 50 % of food waste. This guide explains why the cold chain matters, comment ça marche, and how you can leverage it to protect your produce, profits, Et la planète. Mis à jour pour 2025, the article draws on current research and practical examples. What is cold chain agriculture and why does it matter? A simple explanation with statistics on global food waste and postharvest losses. How does cold chain logistics protect perishable food?
