Last year, hundreds of stakeholders came together to do something extraordinary: set out a shared #TrueCostAccounting vision.

The Action Agenda is the first community-built plan focused on mainstreaming TCA to build a healthier, more sustainable and equitable food system.

⚠️ We are at a tipping point.

UN agencies, governments and more already recognize the potential of #TrueCostAccounting. Now with the new Action Agenda, momentum is building to mainstream this approach and transform how global food systems are valued.

Our new working paper is the first comprehensive review of methods to quantify & monetise food-related socio-economic impacts using #TrueCostAccounting.

Sustainable Food Trust - True Cost Accounting We pay for food in many ways, not just at the checkout; but the true cost varies according to how food is produced and how this impacts our health and the environment.

⚖️ On the other hand, sustainably produced, healthy food can be more expensive to buy and out of reach for many. The Sustainable Food Trust is working to fix this distorted economic environment for food and farming through our work on #TrueCostAccounting.

True Cost Accounting Has Come a Long Way True Cost Accounting is a powerful tool to understand the costs and benefits of food production, distribution, and consumption.

"Cheap food is insidious. We pay for it in the trillions spent on diet-related diseases and other negative impacts."
