Experts believe that curbing climate change will require such a global measure.
Dmitry Peskov, the special Representative of the President of Russia for digital and technological development, said that a new tax may appear in Russia.
The expert called the reason for climate change, which will affect the quality of the product produced. Global measures will be required to contain them, he believes.
As quoted by the TASS expert, Peskov believes that such an accounting policy, which marks the hydrocarbon footprint, may also affect Russian livestock production.
He predicted that in the next few years, producers will be & # 8220;loudly indignant”, and then the authorities will have to go to the introduction of a tax on meat. Under the influence of the climate agenda, the sphere itself will change, new technologies will appear in Russian animal husbandry.
The media reports that earlier the introduction of a tax on meat was proposed by the company Beyond Meat. The founder of the company, Ethan Brown, believes that the measures will force people to eat less of it.
According to the idea of the entrepreneur, “piguviansky” tax should be directed to meat of animal origin. It will be expressed in receiving payments from enterprises that bring a negative effect to society in the course of their activities.
And developing countries should be forced to invest in the production of a product from vegetable protein.
As Topnews wrote earlier, WHO was going to equate meat with carcinogens, along with cigarettes and arsenic.
