Love avocado toast? You have this little-seen technology to thank.

If there’s a singular fruit that’s gotten more buzz in the last five years than the avocado, we certainly can’t think of it. If you tend to thank the gods of taste every time you bite into some avocado toast or take a big dip of guacamole, you should actually be thanking the inventors of the cold chain, a system of global, temperature-controlled transportation. Without it, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy avocados, bananas, seafood, or hundreds of other foods that you love. In fact, cold chain technology touches more than 90 percent of the world’s goods. (It’s not just food that needs to be refrigerated as it’s transported from continent to continent; things like flowers and vaccines rely on the cold chain, too.)

Learn how the cold chain works, and how AT&T Internet of Things solutions help improve how companies monitor their products in transport and get them to stores efficiently. New technology to prevent overripe avocados? That’s something we can get on board with.
