True Cost - From Costs to Benefits in Food and Farming

This is an initiative of various market leaders in the food and farming sector who, in cooperation with EY and insurance companies want to develop, pilot and implement an integrated accounting standard, that considers natural, social, and human capital at a corporate and supply-chain level.

The initiative will realise joint communication campaigns at policy, expert, corporate, and consumer level about the true cost and benefits of food. It is necessary to act and develop an integrated accounting standard for food and farming for use at the agricultural level in annual accounts, incentivising better farming practices.

It is furthermore the intention to facilitate research on the health impact of food and to use the results in the communication campaigns.
