Food waste is a pressing concern in the United Arab Emirates, which currently imports 80% of its fruit and vegetables. Maximising the shelf-life of the country’s crops is crucial, and a key element of this is providing sufficient pre-cooling facilities when produce is first harvested.   To this end, local refrigeration company ADEAREST and its sister company, Polar Specialized Industries - PSI, have recently designed and delivered six 20ft mobile pre-cooling containers to farms within the UAE. The state-of-the-art refrigeration system within each container includes a Güntner Blast Air Cooler, the go-to solution for rapid chilling and blast freezing.   “Apart from energy-saving and reliability, the customer needed a compact cooler because of the space constraints,” says Syed Luqman Faraz, Güntner Regional Sales Manager. “We were happy to provide a solution that met those challenges and helps to preserve vegetables from an early stage.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/dzxKMH-d #Güntner #Guntner #ReducingFoodWaste #Sustainablity

Salads, and vegetables in general, have always been a stable in Egyptian cuisine. This was not a strike of luck but rather an engineered and balance diet, blessed by a fertile land worthy of the civilization that discovered agriculture. Over centuries, with the changing economy, Egyptian cuisines shifted. Often, vegetables were the main source of nutrients. Even cuisines, usually served with meat, were served without. And in rare times, meat emerged either as a delicacy or when the economy improved.  However, now, vegetables servings have shrunk or disappeared from the homes of many Egyptians altogether. The popular free salad dish on the foul cart is now made to order. Once again, this was not a strike of luck, or rather the bad sort of it. While gradually, several and intertwined factors raised the prices of vegetables over the past decade. Some of them were radical factors resulting from structural agricultural decisions and policies that pushed prices up slowly. The secret ingredients now is a mixture of circumstantial and breaking factors, encouraged or even guided by the government, that fanned the fire beneath the price meatless stew. In my latest piece for Mada Masr, my colleague Ahmed Khalifa and I explore these different factors.

Much has been said, and much more debated on global #FoodSecurity – Data reveals that we produce enough to feed over 8Bn people, yet over 800MM don’t have enough to eat every day. Prevalence of severe food insecurity went from 9.3% in 2019 to 11.7% in 2021 - against the UN FAO vision to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition by 2030 - Trends that clearly need to be urgent reversal. Even as we move towards convergence of perspectives to look beyond #food_safety, recognising that #nutritional_security relies critically on #food_sovereignty – the world’s largest exhibition for the sector, #Gulfood2024 opened doors this week to 5500 exhibitors from over 190 nations. Reconnecting nature, food sources, and people, the city platform showcases technological advancements on sustainable and regenerative food production systems, and the tremendous strides in innovation to #future-proof the #longevity aspirations of society. #Dubai’s commitment to food safety and quality assurance is poised to advance excellence in such vital global sectors for human wellbeing; and nurture partnerships to raise efficiency of the end to end source-to-table food supplychain prevalent in the city.   https://lnkd.in/dxT6nCDB   #Gulfood2024 #FoodSafety #SustainableFoodSystems #GlobalInnovation #D33_Agenda #RealFoodRealChange
