Project aim:
True cost or full cost accounting is a powerful new tool to evaluate the sustainability of agriculture and food systems. The approach allows to measure external costs generated by the food system and to reflect upon ways to integrate these costs into the everyday economy. The aim of the project is to apply and to complete the methods that are developed world-wide in this domain in Switzerland.

Activities of ECOZEPT:
Ecozept establishes the link with several European research projects and the respective networks and provides a practical support concerning the interaction of the project “Truecost” with economy actors : workshop-concepts, methods, communication, moderation.

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).

Dabei werden alle ernährungs-, umwelt-, gesellschafts- und wirtschaftspolitischen Herausforderungen des Gebiets berücksichtigt. Die Akteure des Gebiets werden in der ersten Phase der Studie in die Erarbeitung von Zukunftsszenarien eng eingebunden, um eine umfassende Vorstellung einer wünschenswerten und realisierbaren Zukunft für die Landwirtschaft des Gebiets zu erhalten.

Bio Regio Management in Munich 2

Munich's ‘Haus der Kost’ (House of Food), the Competence Centre for Sustainable Nutrition which opened in April 2024, has set itself the goal of increasing the proportion of organic food in out-of-home catering in the city of Munich. To this end, organic regional market structures are to be identified and strengthened and/or established and stabilised. In order to fulfil these tasks, a coordination office ‘Bio-Regio-Management für Lebensmittel in der Außer-Haus-Verpflegung’ (Management of regional organic food in the out-of-home catering) was created, which Ecozept and its subcontractors will continue to support for a further two years.
