The Cold Chain Bangladesh Alliance (CCBA) aims to increase the availability, access, and use of domestically‐produced and nutritious foods in an effort to sustainably reduce poverty and hunger. 

 Present refrigeration and cold transport technologies typically use either diesel fuel (expensive and a source of pollution) and/or electric power (often not available in rural areas). Promoting the expansion of existing technologies for cold-chain development will have the side effects of increasing pollution, greenhouse gas production and associated climate change. Clean cold-chain development is an environmentally sustainable way to achieve essential cooling and reduction in the post-harvest losses.
