Producing food has a massive impact on the environment, via land and water use, pollution from greenhouse gas emissions, fertilizers, and pesticides, and habitat and biodiversity destruction—and many foods that are better for the planet are also better for our health.

Food systems rely on complex global supply chains that link consumers with producers all over the world. To make food systems fair, we need to reduce or eliminate child labour, gender inequality, and unsafe working conditions, while ensuring that good food is available to all.

The current economic system enables and incentivizes unsustainable practices by failing to account for the hidden costs and unrecognized benefits of food systems. True Cost Accounting (TCA) aims to reduce and internalize hidden costs, so that they don't have to be borne by society—now or in the future.
