TIFS is excited to welcome the launch of True Cost Accounting for Food: Balancing the Scale! With this new book, governments, farmers, corporations, investors, and others, can break away from the status quo and make better decisions about the future of food.
To fix our current food metrics, in policy and in practice, we must apply a holistic lens that evaluates the actual costs and benefits of different food systems, and the impacts and dependencies between natural systems, human systems, agriculture and food systems.
Jennifer Astone, Tim Crosby and Rex Raimond contributed a chapter on Investing in the True Value of Sustainable Food Systems.
Authors include many TIFS participants and partners from around the world who highlight the potential for our food system to be more human-centred and one that has a more respectful relationship to the planet.
