Since 2002, Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCF) has completed more than 110 projects in over 65 countries.
Although more than enough food is produced to feed everyone on the planet, much of it is lost or wasted before reaching a consumer. The process by which perishable food is maintained from the ‘farm gate to food plate,’ is the cold chain. Many countries around the world face challenges in securing access to safe and reliable food due to lack of understanding, knowledge and investment in cold chain best practices and infrastructure.
GCCA is dedicated to the proper handling and storage of perishable products and the development of systems and best practices for the safe, efficient and reliable movement of food to the people of the world. Through our non-profit core sector – the Global Cold Chain Foundation (GCCF) – GCCA supports international cold chain development through partnerships with donors, NGOs, governments, educational institutions, local associations and private sector businesses to promote business-to-business knowledge through training, education and research.
