The increasingly close relationship between food and the environment poses stringent questions to which to attempt to provide answers, from the perspective of the possible ecological transition that affects above all the meat sector, which is strongly responsible for climate-changing emissions. The aim of the paper is to outline possible policy interventions in light of a comprehensive assessment of the dynamics present within such a complex supply chain. There are essentially three possible lines of action: price policies, industrial policies and finally policies on the consumption side, both with the introduction of transparent and informative labeling systems and with targeted interventions in terms of food education, to encourage increasingly conscious and reasoned food choices.

Abstract
The increasingly close relationship between food and the environment poses stringent questions to which to attempt to provide answers, from the perspective of the possible ecological transition that affects above all the meat sector, which is strongly responsible for climate-changing emissions. The aim of the paper is to outline possible policy interventions in light of a comprehensive assessment of the dynamics present within such a complex supply chain. There are essentially three possible lines of action: price policies, industrial policies and finally policies on the consumption side, both with the introduction of transparent and informative labeling systems and with targeted interventions in terms of food education, to encourage increasingly conscious and reasoned food choices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
