Warmer shipping may lower the climate impact of citrus, a study finds

A new model tracking individual fruits and shipments finds that energy use, sea transport and food loss can dominate the climate impact of citrus. It identifies practices such as removing field heat before cooling and raising shipping temperatures from −1 °C to 1–3 °C, provided phytosanitary conditions are validated.
