The Future of Frozen Food: a Q&A with AFFI’s Dr. Sanjay Gummalla
Dr. Sanjay Gummalla, AFFI’s Vice President of Scientific Affairs, sat down with The Food Institute to discuss the future of frozen food.
In the interview, Dr. Gummalla discusses how AFFI has partnered with global climate consultancy Guidehouse to bring its Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition (Supplier LOCT) training program to members. Supplier LOCT offers hands-on educational expertise to understand carbon accounting protocols, particularly GHG emissions, setting reduction targets, strategies for carbon abatement, and mechanisms for public disclosure and transparency in carbon reporting. In fact, AFFI’s board approved strategic funds to subsidize member enrollment in the training. Most importantly, these training opportunities build industry capacity in a new arena. This data- and science-driven program offers professional development and educational opportunities to help frozen food companies advance their decarbonization journey.
