“To tackle rising food prices and help citizens choose healthy and sustainable diets, I propose that we price foods according to their health and environmental impact.
Our diets, with their large portions of meat and dairy, are major risk factors for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer, and are associated with one in five premature deaths. These diets are also major drivers of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution. What we eat now determines what environment we will leave for future generations.”
