An Environmental Tax Towards More Sustainable Food: Empirical Evidence of the Consumption of Animal Products in France. JavaScript is disabled on your browser. Please enable JavaScript to use all the features on this page. Abstract Agricultural production is among the industries with the highest impact on the environment in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially in the production of ruminant meats. Households can change their food consumption habits so as to consume less polluting products such as white meat or vegetable-based food. We analyze whether or not a CO2 equivalent (CO2-eq) tax policy in France can change household habits with respect to animal product purchases, and their environmental impact. Using two levels of a CO2-eq tax (€56 and €200 per tonne of CO2-eq) applied to the consumption of all animal products, only ruminant meats or only beef, we show that a high level of tax does not allow meeting the 20% objective threshold of GHG emissions reduction for 2020 since it would lead to a 6% decrease in GHG emissions only.

During the 2016-2017 school year, more than 12.2 million children in 79,000 schools took part in the EU fruit and vegetables scheme and around 18 million children took part in the EU milk scheme, as shown by the latest monitoring reports.
This represents more than 74,000 tonnes of fruit and vegetables and over 285,000 tonnes of dairy products, distributed mainly to children between 6 and 10 years old. In addition to distributing these products, the EU school scheme promotes healthy eating habits among children and includes dedicated educational programmes about the importance of good nutrition and how food is produced. Agriculture and Rural Development Commissioner Phil Hogan said: “European farmers provide us with high quality, safe and healthy food, and through the School Scheme, our youngest citizens gain the health benefits of these products while also learning at an early age where our food comes from and the importance of taste and nutrition.

Angers et Avignon ont toutes deux décidé un moratoire pour stopper le développement des grandes surfaces en périphérie et préserver leur centre. Elles ont expliqué leur choix lors d'une rencontre organisée par l'Alliance pour le commerce et Procos, le 4 juillet. Que l’on y accède par Cavaillon, Carpentras ou Nîmes, l’entrée d'Avignon est une traversée interminable de zones commerciales.
"Les villes moyennes ont beaucoup souffert d’un urbanisme commercial qu’on a laissé faire, y compris nous, les élus, puisqu’on siège dans les commissions départementales d’aménagement commercial", a déploré Cécile Helle, maire d’Avignon, lors d’une matinée organisée par l’Alliance du Commerce et Procos, le 4 juillet à Paris. Fraîchement élue en 2014, Cécile Helle a alors décidé une mesure radicale : un moratoire sur les créations et extensions de zones commerciales, comme elle s'y était engagée pendant sa campagne.
Rapport de l'IPES-Food sur les politiques alimentaires urbaines. Rendu public en juin dernier, ce rapport de l'International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES-Food) s'intéresse aux facteurs en jeu dans l'élaboration de politiques alimentaires urbaines, et tire des enseignements des démarches existantes à destination des villes. Il mobilise la littérature récente sur ce sujet et s'appuie en particulier sur cinq études de cas : Belo Horizonte, Nairobi, Amsterdam, Toronto (Golden Horseshoe), Detroit. Quinze facteurs facilitateurs sont identifiés, regroupés en plusieurs thèmes se rapportant aux questions de données, de surveillance et d'apprentissage, à la gouvernance (verticale et horizontale), aux processus participatifs, au financement et à l'engagement politique.
Les auteurs relèvent également la nécessité d'améliorer la connexion entre les politiques alimentaires aux niveaux local, national et international. Source : IPES-Food.

Sugar tax study: compelling evidence to carry out 'fascinating experiment in public health policy' "The introduction of a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks in combination with other public health interventions has the potential to have a measurable effect on the scale of the epidemic of childhood obesity,” explained Dr Janas Harrington from the HRB Centre for health and diet research at University College Cork.
The Irish Government – like others in Europe – will introduce a sugary drinks tax next year, as part ofa national plan to tackle obesity . But will it be effective? Fuelling obesity Dr Harrington and her team decided to find out. They assessed data from 1,075 children aged between eight and eleven, using three-day food diaries to determine how many sugar-sweetened drinks (SSDs) they were consuming. They then dug deeper into the 724 children whose reported energy intake was in the normal range, so-called “plausible energy reporters”.
Almost one in five of this group (18%) were overweight or obese, against one in four (25%) of the total sample. Fascinating experiment. Tax big but spend wisely, finds research on sugar levies. In a study of 91 peer-reviewed papers and 11 grey-literature studies, experts at the University of Edinburgh assessed how taxes can reduce consumption of target products, generate revenue and become “politically sustainable”. In all, 26 studies found either positive, negative or no health impacts from the charges. Of these, 21 showed a positive impact. They also found 18 papers that identified health impacts by tax rate and product. From this they concluded that the “evidence in support of applying taxes to unhealthy products is strongest for taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages [SSBs] set at a rate of 20% or more of the price. […] high tax rates on sugar-sweetened beverages are likely to have a positive impact on health behaviours and outcomes.”
Taken collectively, the reviewed studies also “suggest there is considerable evidence that taxes on SSBs and unhealthy food products can have positive health impacts.” Source: BMC Public Health Authors: A. Ireland brings in new rules on selling food online. The mandatory guidelines look to modify current online rules to compliment current laws dictating food products sold in the supermarket. Selling food online, normally thorough social media and websites, has become a first port of call for many food companies to reach out to a younger, more internet-savvy demographic.
The guide comes at a time when selling or advertising food online is on the increase. According to Dr Pamela Byrne, CEO of Food Safety Authority Ireland (FSAI), online shopping in the Irish grocery sector totals €170 million per year. Whilst this represents just 1.2% of overall sales, this figure is expected to rise rapidly over the next few years to reach 4.5% by 2021.
“No matter how a consumer buys a food product, be it in-store or online, the food laws apply equally to both transactions,” she said. “Anyone selling or advertising food online is classed as a food business owner and they must comply with relevant legislation.” Wider food issues covered. EC wants to build a ‘fairer food supply chain’ The Commission is gathering data on the “necessity and expedience” of possible measures that could be implemented at a European Union level to address or regulate “unfair trading practices with respect to agrifood products”. The Commission noted that it is “keen” to assess the level of market transparency across the supply chain and where it can be improved. “Considering the need for some degree of competition, the consultation will help judge whether the introduction of supplementary EU market transparency arrangements is necessary,” the EC said. Finally, the EC added, it wants to gauge interest in “producer cooperation” and the use of so-called “value sharing agreements”.
This could include sharing “market bonuses and losses" resulting from changes in market prices. These mechanisms are already in use in some sectors, such as sugar. ‘Inadequate’ distribution of value “Farmers are the first link in the chain and without them, there would not be food to process, sell and consume. Philadelphia's soda tax increases sales outside the city limits, study finds.
Dive Brief: In the months after the city's sugary beverage tax went into effect, sales of sodas, sports drinks and RTD coffee have plummeted in Philadelphia — but skyrocketed just outside city lines — according to a new study from Catalina. Soda purchases are down 55% in the city limits, but are up 38% just outside the city's border. Similarly, sales of sports drinks in the city are down 44%, but have increased 25% outside. And RTD coffee and tea sales have dropped 37% in the city, but increased 24% elsewhere.While basket sizes at grocery stores initially decreased after the tax was implemented, the losses have remained fairly stagnant or decreased in the months since.
Basket size throughout the city was down 5% in March. By May, sales in the city's core stayed flat, but those just inside the border improved by nearly 3%.

Taxer les aliments pour encourager une saine alimentation: une mesure efficace ? | 100° Interventions économiques Le 26 mai 2017 L’Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) vient tout juste de publier un portrait des mesures économiques les plus efficaces pour favoriser de saines habitudes alimentaires. La taxation des produits malsains arrive en tête de liste. En matière de saine alimentation, les décideurs peuvent choisir de modifier l’environnement alimentaire dans lequel évoluent les citoyens, par exemple en adoptant des politiques alimentaires ou en finançant des projets d’agriculture urbaine.
Les auteurs de cette synthèse ont scruté les résultats de 200 études. Taxer ? La taxation des boissons sucrées et d’autres aliments à faible valeur nutritive est l’intervention économique la plus étudiée (102 études). Subventionner ? L’INSPQ a scruté 69 études mesurant l’impact des subventions ou des rabais sur les produits sains, dont 25 portaient sur l’achat de fruits et légumes. Un effet plus marqué sur les ménages moins nantis Source : Blouin, Chantal. La plus grande association médicale des États-Unis recommande de taxer les boissons sucrées | 100°
Épidémie d'obésité Le 11 juillet 2017 L’American Medical Association (AMA) a récemment adopté une politique appuyant clairement la mise en place de mesures efficaces pour réduire la consommation de boissons sucrées. Selon la plus puissante association médicale des États-Unis, l’imposition d’une taxe fait partie des stratégies dont l’efficacité est démontrée.
L’AMA ajoute du même souffle que les revenus générés par cette taxe doivent servir à financer des programmes de santé publique consacrés à la prévention et au traitement de l’obésité. Cette prise de position s’appuie sur un rapport du Council of Science and Public Health (CSPH), dévoilé au cours du récent congrès annuel de l’AMA. En plus de la taxation, les stratégies suivantes ont elles aussi démontré leur efficacité, selon le rapport du CSPH : Recommandations pour les établissements de santé Poursuivre la recherche L’AMA prend aussi position sur un sujet complexe qu’elle a déjà abordé dans de précédentes politiques. Changes in prices, sales, consumer spending, and beverage consumption one year after a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in Berkeley, California, US: A before-and-after study. Abstract Background Taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) meant to improve health and raise revenue are being adopted, yet evaluation is scarce.
This study examines the association of the first penny per ounce SSB excise tax in the United States, in Berkeley, California, with beverage prices, sales, store revenue/consumer spending, and usual beverage intake. Methods and findings Methods included comparison of pre-taxation (before 1 January 2015) and first-year post-taxation (1 March 2015–29 February 2016) measures of (1) beverage prices at 26 Berkeley stores; (2) point-of-sale scanner data on 15.5 million checkouts for beverage prices, sales, and store revenue for two supermarket chains covering three Berkeley and six control non-Berkeley large supermarkets in adjacent cities; and (3) a representative telephone survey (17.4% cooperation rate) of 957 adult Berkeley residents.
