PEREZ GUTIERREZ, Sara y VARGAS PEREZ, Andrés. CONSUMER RESPONSE TO CARBON FOOTPRINT INFORMATION OF FOOD: A DISCRETE CHOICE EXPERIMENT STUDY. rev. econ. Caribe [online]. 2018, n.22, pp.1-27. ISSN 2011-2106.
Rising animal-based foods consumption is having major negative effects on the environment. Shifting diets can thus contribute to a sustainable food system. Food labeling is one among several instruments to encourage more sustainable eating. Using a discrete choice experiment, this study founds that giving information about the the carbon foodprint of food have the potential to affect consumers' choices, making more likely the consumption of a meal with a greater content of plant-based protein. We discuss how this findings could inform policy making.
