Are the 2 statistics presented in any way related? They say a quarter to a half of the food in the world is wasted and 70% of rural Africa doesn't have electricity but is the food waste occuring in those regions due to a lack of electricity? There are plenty of food systems that don't rely on refrigeration. The food waste is occuring in places with adequate refrigeration, but because food is too cheap and people are lazy!
