The food sector is one of the areas most at risk from the impacts of climate change. Losses occurring along the chain from farm to table create major economic and environmental challenges. According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, nearly one-third of the food produced worldwide is wasted every year. At this point, freeze-dry technology stands out as a powerful solution to prevent food waste.
Reducing Losses from Harvest to Table
Fresh fruits and vegetables can spoil quickly after harvest. In particular, losses during transportation in export processes lead to high costs. Thanks to the freeze-dry method, products can retain their freshness and nutritional value for much longer. This minimizes losses for both producers and consumers.
Energy and Resource Efficiency
Preventing food waste provides not only economic but also environmental benefits. Every wasted food item represents wasted water, energy, and agricultural land. Freeze-dry products, with their long shelf life and easy storability, help prevent these losses.
A Sustainable Consumption Trend
Consumers today demand not only healthy but also sustainable products. Freeze-dry technology not only saves food from going to waste but also reduces the carbon footprint thanks to easier transport and storage.
An Important Opportunity for Turkey
Turkey’s vast agricultural production potential is at risk from climate change. However, this risk can be turned into an opportunity with the right technology. Wider adoption of freeze-dry methods will strengthen food security in the domestic market and create a sustainable brand image in international markets.
