CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

International policy opportunities for true cost accounting in food and agriculture

Exporter la citation

The international policy level with respect to True Cost Accounting (TCA) is relatively undeveloped but pivotal. Many of the current externalities in the global food systems stem from the embrace of “cheap food” as a political necessity for national governments; addressing the fallacy in this paradigm will require greater global recognition of the determinants of healthy diets for all. International trade in foodstuffs also merits global attention from the standpoint of costs and benefits of externalities. An emerging feature of global food systems is the existence of multiple, insidious forms of visible and invisible flows of natural resources and externalities, across borders and continents. Building on a growing understanding of TCA in food and agriculture, the concept has been brought forward in recent policy venues, which are featured here.
