> Try doing that, and you'll find plenty of opposition from actors who earn money on production not being evaluated for quality. Also, even if you set this up, you'll likely face an increase in food costs for the transition period in which the producers readjust. And that is a political no-go.
It has to start the same way organic food did - As a choice - Not something that is done across the board. That would never work for some of the reasons you've stated.
Higher quality food would naturally be more expensive, there's no way around that. That cost needs to be passed on to the consumer and then the consumer can decide price vs likely better taste and higher nutrition quality.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoI think to do this, one will need to heavily lean on regulatory support. In particular, law would be needed to force companies to provide accurate information about food quality, content and production process. Otherwise it'll end up exactly like organic food did - a mostly bullshit fad propagated by misinforming customers. I mean, lots of people are still willing to spend more money for better food, but the food needs to actually be verifiably better, not just differently marketed.
