Jasmijn de Boo, Global CEO of ProVeg International, said.
“This is a bold and important step that other countries need to follow. Methane is 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide and accounts for approximately 30% of global warming. Taxation is one way we can tackle this. We also need to encourage a shift to more plant-based diets through public procurement policies, investment in research into alternative proteins, and incentives for farmers to grow food for the plant-based market. Again, Denmark is ahead of the field here too with its Action Plan for Plant-Based Foods that was agreed last year. We encourage other governments to introduce their own strategies to tackle the emissions from the food system.”
