本稿は、低炭素フードシステムへの移行に必要な政策ミックスを提案する。炭素価格や排出量取引制度（ETS）などのハードな政策と、ナッジのようなソフトな政策を組み合わせ、社会的受容性を高めつつ効果を向上させる枠組みを提示する。特に、自主的炭素オフセット（VCO）の活用や政策の順序付けが重要であると論じる。
English
This perspective argues that a policy mix combining hard tools like carbon pricing and Emission Trading Systems (ETS) with soft tools like nudges is essential for transforming the food system to low-carbon. It proposes innovative policies such as Voluntary Carbon Offsetting (VCO) and emphasizes sequencing to improve social acceptability and effectiveness.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でも、食料システムの脱炭素化は農林水産省や環境省の政策課題である。本論文の提案するETSや行動ナッジの組み合わせは、日本の農業・食品分野における新たな政策設計のヒントとなる可能性がある。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global GX policy discourse by integrating carbon pricing, ETS, and behavioral interventions for food systems. It offers a socially acceptable pathway that could inform policy design in jurisdictions like the EU and US where food emissions are a growing focus.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers in environmental economics and policy design can explore the proposed mixed-policy framework and its testable hypotheses.
🏢実務担当者:Food industry stakeholders can anticipate future regulatory shifts involving carbon pricing and offset mechanisms.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should consider combining hard and soft instruments, including ETS and nudges, to accelerate food system decarbonization.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The current food system accounts for approximately a third of the global greenhouse gas emissions, necessitating an urgent shift toward low-carbon food production and consumption practices. Carbon pricing can help internalize the negative externalities of deriving animal-based protein. There have been suggestions to complement meat and dairy taxes with softer policy tools, such as behavioral nudges, that instead encourage people to adopt plant-based diets. Nonetheless, both hard and soft tools have limitations when applied in isolation—taxation is perceived to be unpopular, while softer tools might be ineffective. In this perspective, we argue that innovations to this policy toolkit are key for a food systems transformation. Our proposition includes novel hard policy tools, such as the Emission Trading System (ETS), and seemingly softer policy tools, such as Voluntary Carbon Offsetting (VCO), both of which can be combined with softer tools like nudge and nudge+ interventions. We argue that policy innovations, as well as sequencing soft and hard tools, could enhance existing food policies, by creating a more socially acceptable pathway toward the urgently needed transition to a sustainable food system, thereby improving the effectiveness of these policies.
