Tatyana Boland A Thesis in the Field of Sustainability and Environmental Management for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University March 2016 Abstract The United Nations estimates that the growing human population will reach approximately 9.6 billion by 2050. In order to accommodate the subsequently higher demand for food and related strain on resources, careful consideration of diet choice will be essential. This research evaluates the impact on greenhouse gas emissions from three different diets: vegan, vegetarian, and meat-based. This research is important is because greenhouse gas emissions from food are estimated at around 17% of total emissions. This study measures and evaluates all the steps in the food supply chain related to food production under conditions as they exist in the United States, using the Houston, Texas area as a base for the study.

  • Assessing the Viability of Meat Alternatives to Mitigate the Societal Concerns Associated with Animal Agriculture in India
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School ASSESSING THE VIABILITY OF MEAT ALTERNATIVES TO MITIGATE THE SOCIETAL CONCERNS ASSOCIATED WITH ANIMAL AGRICULTURE IN INDIA A Thesis in Energy, Environmental, and Food Economics by Rashmit Arora 2019 Rashmit Arora Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science August 2019 ii The thesis of Rashmit Arora was reviewed and approved* by the following: Edward Jaenicke Professor of Agricultural Economics Graduate Program Director: Energy, Environmental, and Food Economics Thesis Co-Advisor Daniel Brent Assistant Professor of Environmental Economics Thesis Co-Advisor Amit Sharma Professor of Hospitality Management/Finance Director, Food Decisions Research Laboratory Robert Chiles Assistant Professor of Rural Sociology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii Abstract Meat alternatives such as plant-based and cell-based meat offer a demand-side solution to the environmental, nutritional, and other societal concerns associated with animal-intensive agriculture. However, little is known about the consumer preferences of meat alternatives, which will ultimately dictate their effectiveness in shifting demand away from conventional animal-based meat products. This thesis attempts to address this gap by assessing consumer preferences for four sources of protein – conventional meat, plant-based meat, cell-based meat, and chickpeas – in India, a rapidly developing country that has been consistently witnessing an increase in demand for animal-based protein. The sheer size of India’s population makes its existing and future consumption trends of global import. Using a discrete choice experiment (n = 394) that was conducted via a face-to-face survey in the city of Mumbai and analyzed by a latent class model, four heterogeneous segments in the market are identified.

  • Make Meat-Eaters Pay: Ethicist Proposes Radical Tax, Says They're Killing Themselves and the Planet
    Make meat-eaters pay: Ethicist proposes radical tax, says they're killing themselves and the planet AUTOR: Peter Singer TÍTULO: Make meat-eaters pay: Ethicist proposes radical tax, says they’re killing themselves and the planet FECHA DE PUBLICACIÓN: 25.10.2009 LUGAR DE PUBLICACIÓN: New York Daily News Reproducido con autorización expresa del autor en: derecho Animal web Center, febrero 2010 Taxes can do a lot of good. They pay for schools, parks, police and the military. But that’s not all they can do. High taxes on cigarettes have saved many lives – not only the lives of people who are discouraged from smoking as much as they would if cigarettes were cheap, but also the lives of others who spend less time passively inhaling smoke. No reasonable person would want to abolish the tax on cigarettes. Unless, perhaps, they were proposing banning cigarettes altogether – as New York City is doing with transfats served by restaurants. A tax on sodas containing sugar has also been under consideration, by Governor Paterson among others. In view of our obesity epidemic, and the extra burden it places on our health care system – not to mention the problems it causes on a crowded New York subway when your neighbor can’t fit into a single seat – it’s a reasonable proposal. But in all these moves against tobacco, transfats and sodas, we’ve been ignoring the cow in the room. That’s right, cow. We don’t eat elephants. But the reasons for a tax on beef and other meats are stronger than those for discouraging consumption of cigarettes, transfats or sugary drinks.

  • Volatile Transitions NAVIGATING ESG in 2021
    WHITE PAPER SERIES ESG THEMES & TRENDS 2021 Volatile Transitions NAVIGATING ESG IN 2021 Annual Global Outlook WWW.ISS- ESG.COM ESG THEMES & TRENDS Key Takeaways . The forecast recession and “long ascent” of global economic recovery after COVID-19 will require a strong commitment and decisive action from financial markets. While the global economic downturn has been a time of significant stress for all investors, the willingness of international governments to couple stimulus programs with sustainability objectives offers a clear opportunity for responsible investors to play a leading role in the recovery. Regulatory pressure will be a key driver for responsible investment practices in 2021, with significant initiatives in the European Union coming into force, and governments in Asia making strong commitments to Net Zero targets. While the term ESG is broadly accepted in responsible investment markets, the range of issues that responsible investors are called upon to consider daily continues to expand. The topics covered in this paper are framed in three broad conceptual groupings: Planetary Boundaries, Inclusion and Stewardship. ISS ESG has identified 10 of the key global trends that we believe responsible investors will be focusing on through 2021, both in terms of impacts on portfolio risk/returns, and in terms of time spent managing policies and stakeholder relationships. This year we have also prepared a regionally-focused paper for each of the Americas, EMEA, Asia and Australia/New Zealand, highlighting risks about which the local teams in each region are speaking with their own networks .

  • A Menu for Change
    A Menu for Change Using behavioural science to promote sustainable diets around the world The Behavioural Insights Team / A Menu for Change 2 The Behavioural Insights Team / A Menu for Change Toby Park, Head of Energy & Sustainability, The Behavioural Insights Team [email protected] Acknowledgements This report has benefitted from several individuals’ contributions. With particular thanks for substantive research support and contributions to early content and the structure of the report, to Emma Garnett (University of Cambridge) and Brittney Titus (University of Oxford), both supporting us while at placement at BIT. With thanks also to Elisabeth Costa (BIT), Dr Filippo Bianchi (BIT), Dr Jessica Barker (BIT), and Dr Christian Reynolds (University of Sheffield) for their valuable feedback and comments. This is a long report. We hope you’ll read it cover-to-cover, but if not, it’s written to allow you to dip into individual sections. Look out for the short orange descriptions at the beginning of each chapter to keep track of where you are. Sections 1.1-1.2 introduce the problem, and make the rationale for shifting global diets. This will be familiar ground for environmental scientists. Section 1.3 looks at the current state, and emerging trends, in diets around the world, and Section 1.4 highlights the many historical occasions when diets have radically changed through technological innovation or deliberate intervention from government and industry. Section 1.5 acknowledges the sensitivities of this topic, and offers some reflections on how we might navigate public and political consent. We don’t have all the answers here but give a series of recommendations for building public support and developing effective policy.

Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences Department of Urban and Rural Development Taxing meat; an analysis of narratives from Swedish news articles Abstract A narrative analysis was performed using news articles from Sweden to explore the narratives around taxing meat in Sweden. Online articles published between 01/01/2017 – 31/12/2018 were found using a keyword search for meat tax (köttskatt). Narrative analysis moves the focus from individual meanings towards the larger, societal narratives and in turn how these narratives influence people’s lives. Articles were analysed using the concept of small stories, based on previous work by Michael Bamberg.
