Sweden Considers Food Labelling

As concern rises about emissions from food production, Sweden looks set to explore the idea of emissions labelling for food.

According to The New York Times, Sweden is investigating if labelling could increase its carbon responsibility in relation to food.

A 2005 study found that in Sweden, 25% of national emissions came from food.

The country has already recommended eating carrots instead of foods grown in greenhouses such as cucumbers and tomatoes and beans, and chicken instead of red meat due to the energy used for producing beef.
