The distributional and nutritional impacts and mitigation potential of emission-based food taxes in the UK
Agriculture and food production are responsible for a substantial proportion of greenhouse gas emissions. An emission based food tax has been proposed as one option to reduce food related emissions.…
Environmental, Nutritional and Welfare Effects of Introducing a Carbon Tax on Food Products in Spain
Current dietary habits contribute immensely to climate change as a result of the large amount of greenhouse gas production. Demand-side measures have been proved to be efficient to reduce greenhouse…

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSUMPTION TAXES ON ANIMAL FOOD PRODUCTS TO MITIGATE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION
Livestock cause around 10% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the European Union. Despite the large quantities, no economic policy is in place to reduce emissions from the sector. In this…
Hunger for meat: can animal protein-based taxation reverse the trend?
Climate change is in the agenda of food policy. Livestock is recognized to be by far the biggest contributor to food-related greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE). This article examines the potential…
Simulating the Impact of Carbon Taxes on Greenhouse Gas Emission and Nutrition in the UK
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with food consumption have become particularly pertinent issues given recent warnings that the planet recently has experienced its hottest year. One way…
How does Carbon Pricing Matter for a Climate-friendly Food Consumption?
From the climate change perspective, carbon taxation is a major option for emissions mitigation, and it relies on carbon pricing. This article designs several carbon taxation scenarios at the…
