Challenges and countermeasures in implementing carbon labeling for agricultural products
The implementation of carbon labeling for agricultural products can promote precise and efficient carbon reduction in agricultural sector,support the realization of agricultural ecological value,innovate agricultural income models,and enhance domestic and international market competitiveness.China started late in this respect compared with foreign countries,with insufficient guidance from the top,and it was necessary to accelerate the implementation process.Difficulties existing in the implementation process of carbon labeling for agricultural products were analyzed.On the one hand,the carbon footprint accounting capacity for agricultural products was weak.Due to incomplete accounting standards and the weak data base,the accounting results were incomplete and inconsistent and comparability was low.On the other hand,there was insufficient driving force for the implementation of carbon labeling for agricultural products.Factors such as limited awareness,ability,and motivation of agricultural producers,weak willingness of consumers to pay,and lack of established standards and systems all contributed to limited credibility of accounting and certification results,and funding and other elements of security were not guaranteed.The main paths for promoting the application of carbon labeling for agricultural products were discussed,such as speeding up the development of accounting standards,consolidating the data base,promoting international mutual recognition of standards,data,and results,so as to enhance the capacity of carbon footprint accounting.Then,sound carbon labeling system should be established,including certification system and factor support system.Finally,the promotion of carbon labeling should be intensified by developing green consumption scenarios and providing technical support.[Ch,2 fig.1 tab.45 ref.]
