Attendees Will Learn How Investments and Innovations Can Impact the Cold Chain and Reduce Food Waste
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zest Labs, an AgTech company modernizing the post-harvest fresh food supply chain, today announced that it will participate in a webinar hosted by Food Logistics. Zest Labs CEO, Peter Mehring, will join a panel of experts to discuss cold chain strategies and how growers, shippers, distributors and retail grocers can significantly reduce fresh food waste and improve operational efficiency and product margins through cold chain optimization. Zest Labs is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ecoark Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: ZEST), to be renamed Zest Technologies, Inc.
