Dear FAO team,
Please find attached our contribution to the call for submission of the Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition.
Our researcher team recently (15.03.2024) published a scientific paper in the Journal Sustainability Science on the very issue of the call for submissions (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11625-024-01477-7).
After extensive discussions with members of the German Federal Parliament, who stated that the financial leeway for sustainability measures is limited, we developed a possible differentiated value added tax (VAT) adaptation, that would be beneficial ecologically, socially and economically and therefore could have great potential to be implemented.
