The university, in collaboration with India's National Centre for Cold-chain Development (NCCD), will explore opportunities to drive forward ISA's agenda to research, plan and deliver such technologies in ISA member countries, located between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The University of Birmingham is continuing its partnership with the India-led International Solar Alliance (ISA) by launching a project which uses solar-power solutions to provide farmers in tropical countries with chilled food distribution systems. The ISA Solar Cooling Initiative aims to reduce losses of perishable produce, which can reach up to 40% in the journey from farm to market. A new study has found that people who drink more than two cups of coffee per day are at greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease. The implementation of solar-powered cooling systems means they would not increase the risk of climate change.
