True cost accounting allows for the measurement of hidden impacts of food production on the environment, human health, and society.
• Our findings show that at the national level for all crop sectors:
o Environmental externalities account for 73% and social for 27% of external cost structure.
o Major environmental impact sources are land occupation, air pollution, and climate change.
o Major social impact sources are underpayment of farm workers and the incidence of child labor.
• In NATURE+ sites in Sa Pa and Mai Son districts for the crop sector:
o External costs represent about 24% of all household crop production costs.
o Environmental externalities (61%) are greater than social (39%).
o Land occupation is the most important external impact source, followed by soil degradation and climate change.
o Under earning (underpayment of workers and/or low famer profits) are significant social costs, followed by the gender wage gap and the incidence of child labor. |
