Title 25th June: GHG-Emission Pricing in Agri-Food Systems and import taxes - case studies

In the press-conference cases are presented of countries committed to GHG-Emission pricing in Agri-Food Systems by 2030 (Denmark, New Zealand) and countries with high import taxes on meat and dairy (Switzerland, Norway) and how this (or soy taxes) support sustainable diets with reduced GHG-emissions. We present other pricing policy options like Emission Trading Schemes for food processors and food taxes recommended by FAO/World Bank and the Alliance of Champignons for Food Systems and we show increasing public and political support (COP29 and COP30 Declaration of Food System Reform) with perspectives from the Global South.
