Project aim:
The French administration France Agri Mer wants to support supply chain actors in setting up  an animal welfare scheme for pig and poultry. In order to enrich the debate a comparative analysis of existing schemes in this domain is run in Germany, The Netherlands and in Denmark will be done by Ecozept and partners. Main focus is the microeconomy on farm level and how it might be impacted by restrictions coming from labelling schemes.

Activities of ECOZEPT:
Literature review, expert interviewing, benchmarking, micro-economic analysis on farm level. 12 labels will be analysed on a more general level, 8 of which will then be looked at in detail.

Client:

FOODCoST

Food Costing and internalisation of Externalities for System Transition

Current food systems don’t reflect the true costs of food. In order to achieve sustainable food systems, the project’s objective is to develop tools, business models and policies to measure and value positive and negative external costs of food. By internalising climate, biodiversity, environmental, social and health externalities, these costs are going to be reflected in market prices and thus in the decision making of actors in food value chains. FOODCoST (Food Costing and internalisation of Externalities for System Transition) will guide business, policy makers and other actors to support the transition towards a sustainable food system. This EU-research project is coordinated by Stichting Wageningen Research (Netherlands).
