Today is Food, Agriculture and Water day at #COP29Baku.

@FAO’s #SOFA2024 report revealed that our agrifood system costs us almost $12 trillion each year.

[TCA Accelerator @TCAAccelerator]

Our food system is making us sick, but, according to @FAO, encouraging dietary shifts through different policy levers has the potential to address health AND environmental hidden costs.

We recently published a blog post on scaling TCA in global policy: https://t.co/ynlRO6MmNR

This blog summarizes the first workshop in our new initiative to mainstream TCA by 2030:

[TCA Accelerator @TCAAccelerator]

@FAO’s #SOFA2024 report calls for agrifood systems transformation that prioritizes health, sustainability and equity through #TrueCostAccounting.

This is especially relevant as #COP29Baku kicks off this week, and countries assess/plan progress on mitigation & adaptation plans.

[TCA Accelerator @TCAAccelerator]

🌡️ Policymakers should prioritize the most pressing hidden costs where data is available.

💰 At the same time, they should invest in data collection and analysis to expand #TCA assessments over time.

📢New @FAO report confirms that agrifood systems cost $12 trillion.

🍽️About $8 trillion arise from 13 dietary risks. We all pay these costs. But not equally.

#TCA is the crucial tool for assessing this full range of impacts, considering all capitals including natural, human, and social, going beyond purely financial metrics.

@FAO's State of Food and Agriculture 2024 report is now live!

🧵Thread incoming:
Using #TrueCostAccounting, #SOFA2024 dives deeper into the $12 trillion cost of our global agrifood system.

It is clear:
Transformation of agrifood systems goes beyond increasing production. Value-driven transformation considers positive and negative impacts, prioritizing health, sustainability and equity.
