Re-order Paragraphs
Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Today, a single broken link in this chain, such as a malfunctioning refrigerated truck, can spoil an entire shipment, making the modern food supply both more abundant and more fragile than it once was.
- As a result, food markets could begin sourcing perishable goods from farms hundreds or even thousands of miles away, vastly expanding the variety available to shoppers.
- Maintaining this unbroken sequence requires refrigerated trucks, cold storage warehouses, and chilled display cases, each link handing off the product without allowing it to warm.
- The development of the cold chain, a continuous sequence of refrigerated storage and transport, changed this by keeping food below spoilage temperatures from farm to store.
- Fresh produce and meat begin to spoil within hours of harvest or slaughter, which historically limited food markets to selling only what could be consumed locally and quickly.
