CHALLENGE


The world produces enough food to feed all 8 billion people, yet 828 million people starve every day for many reasons, including logistic issues and food spoilage. Hunger is both a cause and a consequence of forced migration.


FAO and the IAEA have developed a joint Atoms4Food Initiative to help address food insecurity in countries unable to produce and buy enough food.

SOLUTION
BEAMCOMPLEX & ATOMS FOR FOOD EQUIPMENT

In order to support the Initiative of FAO and IAEA aimed at overcoming global food insecurity, Beamcomplex has developed and implements the Atoms for Food Equipment Programme.

The goal of our Atoms for Food Equipment Programme is to promote the advantage of radiation technology to increase the shelf life of agricultural products, reduce food loss and ensure global food safety.


As part of the Atoms for Food Equipment Programme, Beamcomplex manufactures ready-made complexes with electron accelerators for rapid installation and start-up of food production to maximize food shelf life.


Having a center for E-beam and X-Ray food treatment using Beamcomplex complexes will enable to create a large volume of food with 5-10 year shelf life, which will make it possible to provide the population with food for a long period of time, despite the risk of constraints in the next food supplies due to armed conflicts, pandemics, natural/man-made disasters and other negative factors.

GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY SITUATION
With the world's population constantly growing, the problem of global food waste is aggravating, thereby undermining food security.
  • Atoms4Food Initiative goal
    Strengthening global food security

Atoms4Food Initiative objectives:

  • Help eliminate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition
  • Make agriculture, forestry and fisheries more productive and sustainable
  • Reduce rural poverty
  • Enable inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems
  • Increase the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises
  • Objective of our Atoms for Food Equipment Programme
    Equipping national food warehouses with our complexes designed to maximize food shelf life

BENEFITS OF HAVING NATIONAL FOOD WAREHOUSES WITH LONG SHELF LIFE FOOD PRODUCTS FOR COUNTRIES

Extension of shelf life of irradiated food provides reduction of food losses and waste.

Delivery of irradiated food with extended shelf life to national food stocks helps increase replenishment periods and reduce budget expenses.
Total independence of a country in case of disruption of food supply chains during emergencies (pandemic, military conflicts, natural and man-made disasters).
Reduction of intestinal diseases in the population of a country.
Preventing social upheavals, ensuring sustainable economic development and
enhancing food security.
Achieving Zero Hunger goal.
