In Latin America’s Andean region, cooling is critical to the vital agricultural sector. More efficient refrigeration, cold chains, and temperature-controlled transport can deliver climate benefits and improve food security, while also growing Andean economies and strengthening the export potential of perishable fruits and vegetables, flowers, meats, fisheries, and dairy products.
This TechEmerge Sustainable Cooling Innovation program provides a total pool of $1 million in grant funding and expert advice to support pilot projects across the Andean region, with a focus on agricultural value chains in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
