Cold-Chain Design Model For Developing Markets
Central to our work, the Centre for Sustainable Road Freight (CSRF) at Heriot-Watt University has built a first-of-a-kind virtual model which can be populated with a country's data to understand and develop optimised end-to-end multi-modal integrated cold-chain to meet a government's targets.
Conducive Policy Environments For Cold-Chains
Governmental policy plays a critical role in the development of clean cold-chains. For example, the introduction of food safety standards will require temperature control and monitoring in animal-based value chains, making robust cold-chain infrastructure essential.
