True pricing initiatives are sprouting up around the world: from supermarkets in the Netherlands, to case studies on climate smart coffee in Columbia.


By downloading our interactive map you will have access to an overview of true pricing around the world, initiated by any party. The map includes links to case studies, true pricing policies, and many other initiatives. 

 
We also publish interview articles on this page, held with actors from the global true pricing community who have conducted case studies, implemented true pricing policies, or experimented with true pricing in general.

School milk programmes are vital for promoting education and nourishment in East Africa. These initiatives encourage families, particularly the most disadvantaged, to send their sons and particularly their daughters to school.  These programmes ensure that children in school receive proper nourishment for effective learning. The impact of school feeding extends to education, health, inclusivity and local economies. The return on investment for every dollar invested in school feeding is estimated at $3 to $9 in economic return.

As NFP's annual World Food Day Event on October 12th gets ever closer, we invite you to join us in reflecting on the power dynamics within the food system. During this highly anticipated multi-stakeholder dialogue and knowledge exchange we are interested in how to better leverage the strengths of each stakeholder in the "Dutch Diamond" approach to improve food systems and accelerate transition. This process can bring with it several dilemmas that together we could help resolve.

The Netherlands East African Dairy Partnership (NEADAP) has emerged as a catalyst for dairy sector growth in East Africa, providing a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration. Over the last two years, NEADAP's activities in Uganda have shown their commitment to tackling challenges and fostering development in the dairy sector.

In East Africa, many farmers face a significant challenge  the lack of accurate information on the nutrient composition of soil and feed to make informed decisions when formulating diets for cattle or making soil interventions to improve soil health and fertility. Without these critical data, they rely on intuition, general information from the internet and blanket advice from farm advisors, often leading to mismatches between nutrients supplied and required by the crop for cattle. This practice, of using blanket recommendations, results in inefficiencies, and economic losses and contributes to environmentally unsustainable farming systems.

Manure management involves efficient handling, treatment and application of animal waste to minimize nutrient loss, prevent environmental harm and enhance soil fertility in agricultural systems. NEADAP has identified options to pilot in Kiambu County, Kenya: the use of covers, heap and pit composting of manure or bioslurry, and separate collection of solids and liquids.

Tanzania's dairy sector is a vital contributor to its agricultural economy, providing income, food security, and employment. Despite having one of Africa's largest livestock populations, the country struggles with milk self-sufficiency. The recent budget announcement revealed that while milk-producing livestock numbers rise, the milk deficit remains substantial. With a national requirement of 12 billion litres, the current production of 3.6 billion litres falls short by nine billion litres.

Ethiopia, renowned for its vast agricultural landscape, is swiftly emerging as a pivotal player in the dairy industry within the African continent. With a staggering 66.26 million cattle, it stands as Africa's largest cattle-keeping nation, with local breeds constituting nearly 97% of the total population. This livestock sector contributes 25.3%, to the nation's GDP. Recognizing the potential, the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture is open to hosting a future AfDA conference and exhibition. This platform would bring together regional and global dairy industry stakeholders in Ethiopia to explore of investment prospects, networking opportunities, and the promotion of regional dairy products.

Among their various challenges, dairy sector actors in East Africa face the question of how dairy can contribute to a resilient food system. Local realities mean that jobs or food and nutrition security are likely to be prioritized over objectives that are more relevant in other regions of the world, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts. Decisions on public and private investments in the East African dairy sectors need to balance these considerations. As a partnership linking East Africa and Western Europe, NEADAP aims to support this decision-making process.
