    Food connects people, and its journey from farms to plates is facilitated by the food supply chain which operates continuously. Americold's infrastructure enables temperature-controlled food transportation from production to consumer points. Farmers cultivate produce and livestock, which are then processed by food manufacturers into ready-to-eat products like French fries. Americold partners with manufacturers for storage, where products are frozen and preserved. These items are then distributed to local centers at varying temperatures to maintain quality. Depending on the destination, food proceeds to service distribution centers for restaurants or retail centers for grocery stores, making it accessible to consumers. The entire process illustrates the complex yet efficient system that delivers food from farm to fork.
