High temperatures and frequent electricity outages in Pakistan cause fruits, vegetables, milk, and cooked food to spoil quickly. Many families, especially those without reliable refrigeration, lose food before they can use it. This leads to food waste, financial loss, and an increased risk of foodborne illnesses from consuming spoiled food. Finding affordable ways to keep food fresh for longer can help improve food security and reduce waste in local communities.
Food spoilage during hot summer months leads to food waste, financial loss, and an increased risk of foodborne illnesses, especially during frequent power outages. Solving this problem would help families, farmers, fruit and vegetable vendors, and small food businesses keep food fresh for longer, reduce waste, save money, and improve food safety in the community.
