| A tiny invention to save billions of dollars |
| | Good morning,
In the age of artificial intelligence and biotechnology, the key to saving the agriculture industry billions of dollars could be a pouch the size of a sugar packet.
That's according to Aidan Mouat, co-founder of Hazel Technologies, which makes a small sachet that prevents fresh produce from spoiling. Spoiled food contributes to the 130 billion pounds of food Americans throw out per year, amounting to more than $160 billion and 31 percent of the country's food supply, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Founded in 2015, Hazel presents a simple solution to the problem: The company's sachets are placed in boxes of produce before they ship and slowly release vapors specifically created to slow down the spoiling process, increasing shelf life by up to three times.
Read our story to learn how much progress the company is making on a crucial problem, and why at least one expert thinks Hazel has a unique approach to solving it. |

| The president has called for a 'month of action' to keep Congress focused on infrastructure, police reform and voting rights before the summer slowdown descends on Washington. Advocates, experts and some lawmakers are ramping up pressure on the administration to get rid of a Trump-era emergency border order. Most Americans are not familiar with term critical race theory, but that hasn't stopped some from getting upset about attempts to reckon with the sprawling repercussions of slavery. The Biden administration has set a deadline to get 70% of American adults at least partially vaccinated by July 4. A group of Chinese scientists plans to rebut a recent letter by prominent Western scientists casting doubt on the consensus that the coronavirus originated from incidental animal contact. While most individuals sickened by COVID-19 will recover, other 'long-haulers' may still suffer from symptoms months after their infection. U.S. News photo editors curate this month's most compelling images from at home and abroad. |
