“…The dietary styles were adopted from an earlier study of the consulting firm ESUservices which also conducted the LCA analyses for the present study [31]. In that study, the selection of styles such as 'vegan', 'vegetarian', etc., and the amounts of meat and milk products in each style were defined by the non-governmental organization that mandated the study.…”

Linking Subsidies for Agriculture and Food to Dietary Styles: Estimates for Switzerland

Agriculture contributes substantially to global greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts. Current agricultural policies tolerate these impacts and sometimes even aggravate them through subsidies for unsustainable production systems and products. Against this background, we explore the resulting transfers to agriculture and food associated with different dietary styles. Using data from Switzerland, we consider both direct transfers through government subsidies and indirect transfers through toleration of environmental impacts and costs. Gross transfers were quantified based on existing studies that (i) define eight dietary styles in terms of the quantity of the different product groups, (ii) allocate subsidies for agriculture to product groups, (iii) allocate environmental impacts to product groups using life cycle assessment (LCA) methods, and (iv) estimate external costs of agriculture using politically endorsed expenditures for damage avoidance. To quantify net transfers associated with the dietary styles, we subtracted individual tax contributions from the subsidies received and average external costs individually suffered from external costs caused. We found that the gross transfers from government to agriculture range from about CHF 500 to about CHF 2000 annually per taxpayer/consumer depending on dietary styles. Net transfers per taxpayer/consumer range from about CHF −1000 to about CHF 1000 depending on dietary style and income. The estimates highlight that current policies strongly privilege and thereby also endorse environmentally problematic dietary styles over more environmentally friendly ones, contradicting official strategies and targets in the domains of environment and public health.

“…We examined eight dietary styles (Table 1). The styles follow [31] but they were updated to reflect consumption in 2020. The diets are characterized by the intake from 34 product groups as described in Appendix A, Table A1.…”

Zusammenfassung Für Volkswirtschaften ist die eigene Innovationsfähigkeit ein entscheidender Faktor, um in der Wissensgesellschaft erfolgreich sein zu können. Das Innovationspotenzial wird häufig mit der Zahl der Patentanmeldungen gemessen — ohne dabei nach Bedeutung zu differenzieren oder ihre tatsächliche Anwendung zu untersuchen. Unser Ansatz versucht dagegen, ein realitätsnäheres Bild zu zeichnen, indem sie nur die wichtigsten Patente (Weltklassepatente) in den Blick nimmt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Vorsprung der USA im Patentbereich bei dieser Betrachtungsweise noch deutlicher zutage tritt, China auch in Sachen Patentqualität stark aufholt und Europa vor allem in digitalen Technologien dringenden Handlungsbedarf hat.
