Global food loss is estimated to be 48% due to all pests - nearly half of all food produced. (David Pimentel. Ecology and Management of Food – Industry Pests. 1991)
Countries with higher food insecurity typically have higher food losses from rodents and other pests. (David Pimentel. Ecology and Management of Food – Industry Pests. 1991)
How EcoBloc helps: EcoBloc reduces the amount of human and animal food contaminated or consumed by rodents while in process, storage and during transportation. Protecting this food means that less food has to be produced a second time. Doing so increases food security while also reducing waste.
SDGs impacted:
End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
How EcoBloc helps: EcoBloc keeps rodents out of buildings that house humans, animals, and food (both human and animal food), reducing the instances of human and animal illness and death. EcoBloc is a precision agriculture solution that improves human and animal health by improving food safety, protecting people and animals from this biosecurity risk.
SDGs impacted:
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
How EcoBloc helps: EcoBloc eliminates the need to use rodent killing chemicals (rodenticides) in most cases. EcoBloc is a sustainable, cruelty-free solution that doesn't harm any humans or animals while protecting people, livestock, food, equipment and other assets.
SDGs impacted:
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Ensure access to water and sanitation for all
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
