Re: How can the hidden costs and benefits of agrifood systems be effectively incorporated into decision-making for transformation?

Dear SOFA team,

We're happy to submit our contribution 'External costs of animal sourced food in the EU - Study on the externalities attributed to current value chains of EU production and consumption of animal sourced food – and opportunities for change'.

This study monetises environmental, health and social costs of current animal production and consumption in the EU, with an innovative methodology for including animal welfare under social costs. It was carried out by Impact Institute in 2023.

Please find our contribution attached.

Kind regards,

Camilla Björkbom
