Abstract

This chapter presents the current situation of food wastage around the globe by comparing developed and developing countries. The research further focuses on India, presenting the state of food wastage and briefly discussing cold storage facilities and problems faced by the cold chain sector. Sustainable off-grid solar cooling technology measures that can be used for cold storage are briefly described. Finally, the chapter discusses how solar cooling technology could be distributed across India to reduce food wastage and, consequently, how that would benefit society and the environment.
