This case explores groundbreaking food preservation techniques inspired by nature and developed under the Blue Economy philosophy by ZERI, aiming to reduce reliance on chemicals and refrigeration. Today, $500 billion of the world’s food market relies heavily on preservatives and cold chains, creating high costs, waste, and environmental harm. Bruce Roser’s innovative vaccine preservation method, using sugar molecules to maintain stability without refrigeration, offers a viable solution for remote areas lacking cold chains. This breakthrough has inspired the idea of eliminating cold chains in food preservation. With such techniques, substantial energy savings and reduced emissions could transform global food markets, decreasing reliance on costly refrigeration and opening up new entrepreneurial opportunities in sustainable preservation.
本案例探讨了在蓝色经济哲学下的自然启发性食物保存技术，旨在减少对化学物质和冷链的依赖。如今，全球5000亿美元的食品市场严重依赖防腐剂和冷链，导致成本高昂、浪费严重且对环境有害。布鲁斯·罗瑟的创新疫苗保存方法利用糖分子在无冷链情况下保持稳定，为缺乏冷链的偏远地区提供了可行的解决方案。这一突破启发了在食品保存中取消冷链的想法。通过这些技术，巨大的能源节省和减少排放有望改变全球食品市场，减少对昂贵冷链的依赖，开辟可持续保存的新创业机会。
