Nearly 800 million people (1 in 10 of the world’s population) go to bed hungry each night, yet one-third of all food globally either perishes or is discarded before it is consumed.

​

This food waste not only exacerbates food insecurity but also raises several environmental concerns. According to the UN World Food Program, Food waste is responsible for 8–10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, amounting to 3.6 million metric tons CO₂ annually. 

​

ChitoFresh addresses these issues by providing a sustainable solution that extends the shelf life of fresh produce. By reducing spoilage, our innovation cuts food waste at all levels of the supply chain—farmers, distributors, retailers, and consumers—and helps ensure more food reaches those in need. Additionally, the reduction in waste has a measurable environmental impact, lowering emissions and minimizing the resources used for growing and transporting food that would otherwise be discarded.
