Article Synopsis
- The agricultural sector significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, but detailed economic analysis of its environmental and social impacts is lacking.
- A new method developed in this paper, applied in Germany, assesses external climate costs of various food products using life-cycle assessment and meta-analysis.
- Findings reveal that animal-based products, particularly conventional and organic meats, carry the highest external costs, indicating a need for policy measures to align market prices with the true environmental costs of food.
