Carbon pricing of food in Australia: an analysis of the health, environmental and public finance impacts.

CONCLUSION: Incorporating the price of food-related greenhouse gas emissions into the price of food commodities in Australia could be beneficial for population health, while generating public finance revenues and supporting Australia's emission-reduction commitment. Implications for public health: Climate policies that integrate the price of greenhouse gas emissions into the price of food commodities in Australia are compatible with public health objectives to reduce diet-related disease mortality.
