The impact investing framework will help look at the agrifood system in a different way and push people to value quality – nutritional quality, soil quality, air quality, water quality, biodiversity – and all of that has a price that we have not taken into account,” Archambeau tells Food Tank. The Rockefeller Foundation estimates that American consumers spend US$1.1 trillion on food annually. But the true cost of that food, accounting for healthcare and environmental degradation, comes to nearly US$3.2 trillion. Instead of outsourcing these externalities to NGO’s, Archambeau believes that further accountability and transparency within the agrifood sector could proactively reduce these costs from the start. Archambeau hopes Costing the Earth will guide the next generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs who are determined to drive a purposeful and profitable career. “This is a message of cautious optimism for the future,” Archambeau tells Food Tank, “if we get a number of entrepreneurs of the young generation entering the field with the vision that something can be done, then I think we’ll be able to do it.” Articles like the one you just read are made possible through the generosity of Food Tank members.
