The Danish Øresund Food Network and Øresund Environment Academy have recently published a report entitled: Climate Change and the food industry– Climate labelling for food products: Potential and limitations
The report seeks to:

  • Present the concept of climate labelling for food and its various forms;
  • Provide an overview of existing examples of implementation of climate labelling for food as a way of informing consumers about climate impacts of food products;
  • Identify the main strengths, driving forces for, and limitations of climate labelling for food;
  • Analyse what climate labelling might imply for producers and in particular for Danish and Swedish food producers.

Among others, the report looks at the UK’s Carbon Trust methodology, at a number of schemes offering ‘carbon neutrality’ and at the activities of various retailers (including Tesco, Innocent and Walker’s).
