Cooling topic: Food, nutrition and agriculture
A lack of access to sustainable cooling and cold chain threatens to put SDG2 (zero hunger) out of reach and stunt the ability of agricultural economies to grow sustainably. With access to sustainable cooling and cold chains, farmers can grow perishable, nutritious crops with confidence they will be able to transport them to markets that can deliver good prices. They can also use more income to create more jobs, including for women who are over half of the agricultural workforce in key developing markets.
