Soziale externe Kosten: Ein Framework zur Monetarisierung von Tierwohl zur Berechnung wahrer Lebensmittelpreise (2023)

A long-term improvement of the current animal husbandry is inevitable. Animal welfare is one of the six areas of externalities and so imposes hidden costs that are currently not priced into food products. A framework to monetize animal welfare and thus account the true food prices would not only yield these external costs, but also provide the opportunity to reform husbandry conditions on German farms. Potential price premiums raised for animal welfare could finance investment projects to improve husbandry.
