[Articles] Exploring environmental and distributional impacts of different transition pathways for healthier and sustainable diets: an economic modelling study

The interventions chosen to change diets matter for the shift that can be attained and for the direction and size of the environmental, affordability, and distributional impacts. Price incentives can be a more effective, scalable, and just way to shift diets than the often preferred shift in consumer decisions, which make the EL diet more costly. Part of the trade-offs could be addressed by expanding the policy bundle with interventions to lower prices of encouraged foods (productivity increase, food loss and waste reduction) or reduce GHG emissions of food and non-food production, and with regulation of agricultural land expansion to reduce pressure on biodiversity.
