EU: Food products with slightly different composition are marketed as identical across countries (dualfood quality), but impacts on #consumers' purchase decisions & #welfare may be minimal, reducing the urgency for policy interventions like #labeling or product harmonisation: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodpol.2025.102803
Captchas truly are only crowdsourced AI training without having to pay for it, yes?
#Meat & #dairy production is a key source of GHG #emissions. It's crucial to decrease their consumption for the #environment & better #health. Behavioral interventions—carbon footprint #labeling & product categorization—can promote #sustainable food selection online... (1/2) https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2319018121
#Labels can increase knowledge about the #environment impacts of foods, but to shift #consumers behaviour, measures are needed that do not place further responsibility on consumers, e.g. support #retailers to make environment-friendly foods more readily available: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clrc.2024.100239 #labeling

#France: Supreme Court ruled #consumers are not confused by terms like #sausage, #steak & #burger on plant-based products; they help people know what to expect. Citizens back such terms for #plantbased products. (Otherwise what about hot *dogs*?) https://gfieurope.org/blog/labelling-roundup-while-french-court-rules-meaty-names-on-plant-based-products-do-not-confuse-consumers-new-italian-restrictions-threaten-home-grown-plant-based-companies/ #labeling
Eating more #plantbased food & less #meat is a high-impact #climate action. Consumers are aware of #sustainability issues but adoption of plant-rich #diets is low. Government leadership, stakeholder coordination & more #transparency are needed: https://doi.org/10.3390/nu15234990 #labeling
To reduce the environment #footprint of the #foodsystem we must shift to more #plantbased diets. A CO2 #label on food products can be effective & increase individuals' support for more stringent policy measures (e.g. #meattax) over time: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2023.102216 #carbon #labeling
DevSeed has now integrated DS-Annotate with the Segment Anything Model. This powerful tool enables swift and efficient annotation of map features, streamlining our processes significantly. This advancement wouldn't have been possible without our collaborative work with Ruben Mendoza, Ryan Avery, Wille Marcel, and Nick Ingalls.
Open-net #salmon #farming is an utter #environmental #catastrophe, and #consumers should be able to avoid those products.
But can you trust the #labeling? Are farmed salmon #lablelled at all?
Chances are the answer to those questions is no.

@stevesilberman @actuallyautistic I read some of the reaponses like "aren't we all on #spectrum?" and wonder are you also all a little bisexual? Or black? Or...? The reality is that a medical #dx comes with social #stigma and #labeling. And it comes with a whole range of infrastructural and #societal blowback. If you ARE one of these then you KNOW what it FEELS like. There's no replicating that and #normalizing the affects of that on those who suffer #discrimination. #actuallyautistic
