Impact of Climate Change on Cold Chain Logistics
Climate change significantly disrupts the cold supply chain, necessitating adaptation to ensure food safety and availability. Events such as natural disasters and droughts affect food sourcing, pushing the need for refrigerated transport to new levels of urgency.
