    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.

    Let's take a look at how it works: Farmers around the world raise animals, and
  • 00:00:42
    grow grains, fruits, and vegetables, like these potatoes.
  • 00:00:48
    When ready, those items are prepared into the foods we all enjoy by food manufacturing
  • 00:00:52
    companies.
  • 00:00:54
    For example, potatoes are cut into French fries.
  • 00:00:58
    After production, many manufacturers use partners, like Americold, with plant-attached facilities
  • 00:01:05
    that are directly connected to food manufacturing facilities.
  • 00:01:09
    So products arrive in the facility quite literally through the wall.

    This is where food is frozen, preserved, and stored.
  • 00:01:18
    Those French fries can be stored until they're ready to move along in the supply chain.
  • 00:01:23
    When it's time, those French fries and other food items are loaded into trucks, rail cars,
  • 00:01:28
    and ocean containers, and moved on to the next leg of their journey: a local or regional
  • 00:01:34
    distribution center.

    know and love.

  • 00:02:06
    Food going to restaurants, schools, stadiums, hotels and other large commercial businesses

    moves to food service distribution centers, and then on to those establishments.
  • 00:02:18
    That's how those French fries make it onto the plate with your favorite burger.
  • 00:02:23
    If food is going to a grocery store, it moves to a retail distribution center.
  • 00:02:29
    Americold operates some of these types of facilities too.
  • 00:02:32
    Next, it's delivered to a grocery store, ready for you to take home.
