· In India, 40% of fruit and vegetable produce is lost even before it hits the shelf, leading to a loss of 12 billion dollars.
· To prolong the shelf life of fruits and vegetables and to reduce food waste, GreenPod Labs is reducing bacterial growth that promotes ripening.
· GreenPod Labs is aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly the goal of halving food waste by 2030.
India is a country that is heavily dependent on agriculture for its livelihood. More than 50% of the people in the country are involved in agriculture. India is also the second-largest producer of fruits and vegetables.
But, unfortunately, 40% of this produce is lost even before it hits the market. And this contributes to a whooping loss of $12 billion every year. This loss of produce is the issue that GreenPod Labs are trying to rectify. Founded in 2019 by Deepak Rajmohan and Vijay Anand, GreenPod Labs are creating waves in agritech. Let us learn how they make this possible.
Revealing Nature's Defence Mechanisms
Nature has a fascinating way of healing and taking care of itself. Plants do have a defense mechanism that helps them to control the ripening of their fruits.
Using natural herbs, GreenPod Labs have reduced bacterial growth which in turn has slowed down the ripening process of fruits and vegetables.
This not only ensures that the produce gets a longer shelf life but also reduces spoilage that happens during shipping and storage.
Towards a Sustainable Future
As an agricultural biotechnology company, GreenPod Labs are torchbearersorch bearers of sustainable agriculture and farming methods.
They are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially the one that aims at reducing food waste by half by 2030.
To make this happen, they offer practical solutions that address the root cause of food waste issue. They are paving the way to a healthier and more sustainable future.
Innovation in Action
What made GreenPod Labs distinct is their original and innovative thinking. If you think about it, everyone is aware of the food waste issue. But I am almost very certain that many of us have not thought about a solution like theirs.
This shows their commitment and out-of-the-box thinking. Not just that, they are also quick to adapt to new market needs and come up with efficient ways to address them.
Customer-focused innovation and a customer-centric approach are what moved them to the forefront of innovation.
Through their methods, GreenPod Labs are not only pioneers in their field but also stimulate business growth and advance its sustainability goals.
By adding plant protection systems, GreenPod Labs truly embodies the transformative power of solutions and human creativity.
