Building agricultural
resilience to climate change

Your Virtual Cold Chain Assistant aims to mitigate post-harvest loss in the horticultural value chain, a leading cause of widespread poverty among smallholder farmers. We collaborate with local cooling companies and farmers organisations under the Cooling-as-a-Service business model to make solar-powered cold storage facilities economically and geographically accessible.
Our mobile application, Coldtivate, helps cooling companies manage cold rooms more efficiently, and leverages data science to help farmers secure fair prices for their produce and enhance regional food security. Together, these efforts help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make the agricultural sector become more resilient to a warming planet.
