About the Organization

At Lineage, we play a vital role in protecting one the world’s most valuable resources — food. As the largest dynamic temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics company, we are reimagining the global food supply chain to fight food insecurity and eliminate waste at our facilities around the world.  

We partner with food and beverage companies to help make the cold chain more efficient, sustainable, reliable and, most importantly, to feed the world. We’re working with our customers to help feed communities in need and eliminate food waste. A more connected food chain is possible, and we’re living our purpose every day to make it happen.

About the Event

Lineage is inviting forward-thinking students and startups from across the world to help address the complexities of the food supply chain, explore new perspectives, and propose innovative solutions that can reshape how we feed the world.

The teams who present the best ideas at each regional event will receive a cash prize. Additionally, one overall winner will be selected to participate in an incubator program organized by Lineage to further scale or develop the proposed solution.

Postharvest food waste poses a significant global challenge, affecting food security, quality, and market access. Particularly in developing and emerging regions, the absence of affordable and scalable solutions accelerates this issue, resulting in the loss of valuable food resources that could nourish millions.

During Lineage’s Food Chain Innovation Challenge, participants will present their innovative technologies or data solutions that address postharvest food waste, considering its multifaceted impact on communities and economies.

Participants are encouraged to focus their solutions on one of the following themes:

Reducing food waste: Technologies and strategies to minimize postharvest food waste across the supply chain, from farm to market, considering factors such as storage, transportation, and distribution.

Innovative food preservation techniques: Novel methods or devices for preserving food freshness and quality, extending shelf life, and reducing spoilage, especially in resource-constrained environments.

Access to nutritious food: Design solutions to improve access to nutritious food in underserved areas by addressing challenges such as food distribution logistics, affordability, and availability of fresh produce.

Data-driven insights and analytics: Utilize data analytics, IoT devices, and other technologies to gather insights into food supply chains, identify areas of waste, and optimize resource allocation for maximum efficiency.
