🆕 study: Pricing greenhouse gas-intensive foods could help German agriculture meet climate targets while generating 8.2 billion € annually, PIK researchers find.

Emissions within the agricultural sector could be reduced by 22.5 percent or over 15 million tonnes of GHG annually, if the social cost of carbon were reflected in food prices.
