The event will include the presentation of the translated report of CE Delft 'Sustainability price on meat'. In addition, the TAPP Coalition will present its own report with proposals for implementing the European Green Deal regarding 'true pricing' of meat and dairy and CO2 reduction in these sectors, in Europe and worldwide.
