Säsongsbaserade organisationer inom skidturismen kräver ofta en kraftig utökning av personalstyrka under vinterhalvåret jämfört med resten av året. De säsongsanställda blir organisationens ansikte utåt och de behöver därför kunna möta kundernas behov och förväntningar.

How do we design policies that support a shift in eating habits towards a diet that includes more vegetable-basedproducts and less meat, and in particular red meat? To inform policy, more information is needed about consumers’perceptions of the plant-based protein alternatives that have become available on the market.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets. However, the efficiency of unilateral climate policies aimed at taxing emissions might be hampered by carbon leakage. One way to eliminate leakage is to implement a global carbon tax. In this article, we study the effects of a carbon tax in agriculture on GHG emissions by simulating five polReducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets.
