Energy Efficiency in Aggregating Local Produce
Description
As the region emerges from the pandemic, the need for energy efficient local food production capacity, aggregation, and storage has become even more critical. Carnation Farms (CF) is proposing, with grant support from KCD, to: 1) Make necessary efficiency improvements to its existing aggregation infrastructure to create energy savings and reduce the carbon footprint of local food storage, and 2) Add an on-site dry storage container to address an unmet need expressed by local farmers.
