# US scientist and astronaut, Sian Proctor, believes that freeze-drying technology has the potential to revolutionise food practices in Africa. Proctor says this will improve food security and reduce waste. Proctor highlighted that freeze-drying could replace frozen foods, eliminating the need for cold chains and extending shelf life. She envisions solar-powered mobile freeze-drying units for rural communities, allowing them to preserve food, access distant markets, enhancing sustainability and resilience in food distribution.
