NOVI, Mich. – November 21, 2024 – Lineage, Inc. BB #:294667, the world’s largest global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, today announced the release of Economist Impact’s “Feeding the Future” report.
Supported by Lineage, the new body of research explores the connection between food infrastructure and economic development in hard-to-reach geographies, calling for global collaboration toward building a food supply chain better equipped for feeding the world.
Enough food is produced to feed the global population of 8 billion people daily, yet around 733 million people still go hungry, 3.1 billion cannot afford a healthy diet and 24% of the world’s calories go uneaten due to food loss and waste. Providing everyone with access to safe, nourishing food while eliminating waste and driving socioeconomic progress will require robust infrastructure – from warehousing and cold storage to transportation networks – that spans the entire global supply chain.
“We are proud to partner with Economist Impact to shed light on the critical role that cold chain infrastructure plays in creating long-term solutions to hunger, boosting agricultural productivity, empowering communities and reducing waste globally,” said Greg Lehmkuhl, President and CEO of Lineage. “This research speaks to the enduring quality of our purpose at Lineage to transform the world’s food supply chain to eliminate waste and help feed the world, and why it informs every decision we make across our global team.”
The “Feeding the Future” report was conducted with Lineage’s support as part of Economist Impact’s Food Imperative. The Food Imperative initiative is designed to arm decision-makers with the data, insights and tools they need to develop more sustainable and secure solutions in their commitment to transform global food systems for the future.
As part of this initiative, Economist Impact has also published a short, animated film illustrating how temperature-controlled supply chains enable global access to nutritious food from farm to fork, along with an article on the cold chain’s role in feeding the world and transformative trends and technologies in the space.
“At Economist Impact, our mission is to drive progress on the world’s biggest issues with world-class policy research and global media amplification. With the Food Imperative initiative and Feeding the Future report, we’re bringing critical attention to the need for sustainable, resilient food systems,” said Pratima Singh, Principal and The Food Imperative Lead at Economist Impact.
Economist Impact works with governments, corporations, foundations, and NGOs to create change and progress on topics like sustainability, health, and globalization.
