      abstract = {The increase in the level of greenhouse gas (GHG)  emissions in the atmosphere in the last centuries, and the  subsequent increase in temperature, has been a widely  studied area in the last few decades. Climate change has  become a key item on the political agenda due to concerns  regarding the sustainability of current human consumption  for future generations. Consumption of food and  agricultural goods constitutes an important part of  household based GHG emissions, and the relatively low costs  associated with environmental improvements make it an  interesting area of study to understand behavioural  changes. Despite general agreement on the need to curb the  amount of GHG emissions worldwide, little evidence exists  regarding the best instruments policymakers can employ to  stimulate changes toward more sustainable consumption. The  present work explores which instruments are most effective  in fostering change to more environmentally friendly food  consumption. The instruments tested are CO2 labelling, GHG  abatement subsidy and product-specific bans. We used a  simulated online shopping trip in supermarkets in the  Greater London area in the United Kingdom, where  respondents shopped in four product categories: cola, milk,  meat (chicken and beef), and butter/margarine. Consumer  preferences reveal that, in the presence of these  instruments, quantity instruments performed better than  price incentives and labelling.},
