According to the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), 95% of food waste in developing countries are unintentional losses at early stages of the food supply chain caused by financial, managerial and technical mistakes; storage and cooling facilities in difficult climatic conditions; infrastructure; packaging and marketing systems.
These are all problems that could be easily avoided by following a more rigid set of guidelines to avoid loss in food production which is evaluated at $1 trillion every year (about one third of all food produced worldwide).

Non thermal technologies exert a minimal impact on the nutritional and sensory properties of foods, and extend shelf life by inhibiting or killing microorganisms. They are also considered to be more energy efficient and to preserve better quality attributes than conventional thermally based processes. Non-thermal processes also meet industry needs by offering value-added products, new market opportunities and added safety margins.
