SOU 2005:51 Summary
This will require greater clarity in the curriculum, a review of syllabuses,
a doubling of teaching hours and extra financial resources to
teacher training, premises and technical equipment.
3. The role of the Swedish Consumer Agency in stimulating
sustainable development (2.9)
The Swedish Consumer Agency will complement its broad general
information on market supply with a sharper green profile which
identifies the most desirable consumer from a sustainability point
of view. On websites, in the Buying Guide and in other information
and advice arenas, the Agency should actively help consumers
to choose the goods and services that are currently the most resource
efficient and environmentally sound on the market.
Eat, live and travel more sustainably – a selection of
proposals
1. Eat sustainably – six main strategies (Chapter 3)
• Strengthen the market for staple foods produced in Sweden.
• Invest in extensive Swedish meat production.
• Increase the proportion of organic foodstuffs.
• Increase the proportion of fair trade products.
• Strengthen retailer responsibility through “green driving licences”
for shop employees.
• Switch to Smart food.
Within the framework of the six main strategies, I am proposing
more than twenty measures. A selection of the most important:
The removal of unnecessary cost increases for Sweden’s production
of staple foods; a law on general origin labelling; a target of 25
per cent organic food in the public sector; the halving of VAT on
fair trade products; “green driving licences” for shop employees;
Smart food in schools etc; financial support to a major investment
in Swedish cattle ranches.
