This story in the link below about trailers full of food being stolen is particularly frustrating to us here at Locus Traxx, because we could have helped.
If you know where vehicles are at all times If you know every time a truck door opens. Even if you load a counterfeit reefer, you can still track you products.
I came across an article in The Wall Street Journal that raises concerns over the price of global food supplies.
The cause of the concern is a food price index published monthly by United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. That index has risen for six consecutive months and hit a record in December when it reached 214.7. That topped the previous peak of 213.5 from June of 2008.
The solution is a quite passive one. Wait for better harvests.
President Obama signed the $1.4 billion Food Safety Bill yesterday.
There was some talk of holding back on funding. Seems unlikely given both the importance of Food Safety these days and the support the bill had when it passed last year. The conversation will more likely be around how best to spend the $1.4 billion with new owners of the House.
I of course vote in favor of extending food safety protections to temperature sensitive shipments while they're on the road. Currently the broken link in the cold chain.
