Food Security in Food and Beverage Companies

food security

Having a secure food supply is critical to any modern society. Food security has many aspects, one of which is the availability and sustainability of food. The global population is predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050, which will impact our current food system regarding the production, distribution, and consumption of food. What does this mean for F&B companies and boron suppliers? Companies should focus on the production aspect of food security. They need to create a sustainable system for growing and distributing food and provide safe storage procedures for both their products in...

Food Security and Boron: A Force For Good

Boron - Food Security

Every year, over 10 million people die of hunger and hunger-related diseases. Nearly six million of these are children under the age of five; that is, a child dies approximately every six seconds. Understanding how this still occurs amid the ever-increasing social enlightenment of the 21st century and under the auspices of a vigilant global developmental community is one of the key challenges of our time. The science of food security aims to address such concerns. By understanding the multiplicity of the phenomenon, practitioners of global multilateral hegemony seek to shape appropriate...

Decarbonization Magic Ingredient – Boron

decarbonization rio tinto - boron

Many people are not aware that Boron has a huge role in decarbonization. The process of decarbonization is the removal of carbon from fuels and other sources to reduce their emissions. One such source is natural gas, which contains significant amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). This blog post discusses the benefits of using Boron in the decarbonization process. Boron is a naturally occurring element that can reduce carbon density. It does this by converting CO2 into boric acid, which is then absorbed and stored in water or soil. Decarbonization involves the removal of...
