Ensuring sustainable food systems requires vastly reducing its environmental and health costs while making healthy and sustainable food affordable to all.​

During the The True Costs and True Price of Food session we will elaborate on the true costs of the global food system, how true pricing can address those costs and the scientific challenges involved in doing so. Together, we want to explore how science can help governments and businesses in a True Pricing Science Network. Participant will walk away with a broader understanding of how the value of food can be redefined and how in the long run true pricing mechanisms can ensure that affordable and healthy food is accessible to all while conserving the environment.

The session is based on the eponymous paper The true cost and true price of food which estimated the global true costs of food to be 30 trillion USD, and proposed TCA  and true pricing as solutions to address those.  

Towards a True Pricing Science Network​

Members of the True Cost and True Price of Food working group of the Scientific Group are hosting this session and taking the initiative to convene a True Pricing Science Network (as part of a partnership on the true price of food). This will further the basic and applied science progress needed to apply true pricing at scale by policy makers, businesses and consumers. Learn how you can join as research institution.
