项目摘要

With the world's population expected to reach 9.7Bn by 2050, the numbers malnourished is expected to increase reaching 2Bn. Feeding the growing population requires 70% food production increase by 2050, however, a cost-effective method to bridge this should be ensuring that most food produced doesn't get spoiled between the farm-to-table.The main causes of food loss/spoilage have been identified as:* Insufficient post-harvest and on-farm storage technologies;* Dated practices for handling, processing and packaging; and* Limited market information and access, decreasing farmers' abilities to sell products at a decent price before they spoil.There is a need to minimise loss rate so that nutrient-rich foods critical for achieving healthy dietary diversity remains reasonably priced for the general population. A good starting point is simply addressing these causes of food loss/spoilage.Our project team will develop/validate A-ICED, a fully integrated cold storage supply chain platform for poor to middle class population aimed at bridging the gap between food production and market security, mostly caused by poor post-harvest handling.With A-ICED, we are providing a platform that will be readily available on both smart and ordinary phones providing information to both farmers and merchants to ensure profitability while nourishing the population.

到2050年，世界人口预计将达到97亿，营养不良的人数预计将增加到20亿。到2050年，养活不断增长的人口需要增加70%的粮食产量，然而，一个经济有效的方法应该是确保大多数生产的粮食不会在农场到餐桌之间变质。粮食损失/变质的主要原因已被确定为：*收获后和农场储存技术不足；*处理、加工和包装的过时做法；以及*市场信息和渠道有限，降低了农民在产品变质前以合理价格出售产品的能力。有必要将损失率降至最低，以便对实现健康饮食多样性至关重要的营养丰富的食品对普通民众来说保持合理的价格。一个很好的起点就是解决这些粮食损失/变质的原因。我们的项目团队将开发/验证A-ICD，这是一个面向穷人和中产阶级人口的完全集成的冷藏供应链平台，旨在弥合粮食生产和市场安全之间的差距，主要是由于收获后处理不善造成的。通过A-ICD，我们提供了一个在智能手机和普通手机上都可以随时使用的平台，为农民和商家提供信息，以确保盈利，同时滋养人口。
