TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED OUTCOME APPROACH TO MEASURE AND REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF FOOD

Description

Please read ToR for full details. This work will explore the possibility for an integrated approach to measure and reduce the environmental impact of food, and support WWF-UK's efforts to inform and influence political policy and business advocacy. Currently, many methods are used to understand the environmental impacts of food on the environment - from product approaches to landscape approaches, farm level initiatives to accreditation schemes. These different approaches often lead to confusion amongst food stakeholders and hinder action. It is only by understanding how the various approaches are part of a cohesive whole, that we can make useful policy changes and decisions about the food we produce, provide and consume. Focusing on the impact of livestock/animal protein production, this project will explore how the various approaches WWF-UK is directly and indirectly involved with can be brought together as an integrated outcome approach to understand the impact of the UK food system and establish a framework for policy development and advocacy.
