520    "The U.S. food system provides many benefits, not the 
       least of which is a safe, nutritious and consistent food 
       supply. However, the same system also creates significant 
       environmental, public health, and other costs that 
       generally are not recognized and not accounted for in the 
       retail price of food. These include greenhouse gas (GHG) 
       emissions, soil erosion, air pollution, and their 
       environmental consequences, the transfer of antibiotic 
       resistance from food animals to human, and other human 
       health outcomes, including foodborne illnesses and chronic
       disease. Some external costs which are also known as 
       externalities are accounted for in ways that do not 
       involve increasing the price of food. But many are not. 
       They are borne involuntarily by society at large. A better
       understanding of external costs would help decision makers
       at all stages of the life cycle to expand the benefits of 
       the U.S. food system even further. The Institute of 
       Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC) 
       with support from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
       Prevention (CDC) convened a public workshop on April 23-23,
       2012, to explore the external costs of food, methodologies
       for quantifying those costs, and the limitations of the 
       methodologies. The workshop was intended to be an 
       information-gathering activity only. Given the complexity 
       of the issues and the broad areas of expertise involved, 
       workshop presentations and discussions represent only a 
       small portion of the current knowledge and are by no means
       comprehensive. The focus was on the environmental and 
       health impacts of food, using externalities as a basis for
       discussion and animal products as a case study. The 
       intention was not to quantify costs or benefits, but 
       rather to lay the groundwork for doing so. A major goal of
       the workshop was to identify information sources and 
       methodologies required to recognize and estimate the costs
       and benefits of environmental and public health 
       consequences associated with the U.S. food system. It was 
       anticipated that the workshop would provide the basis for 
       a follow-up consensus study of the subject and that a 
       central task of the consensus study will be to develop a 
       framework for a full-scale accounting of the environmental
       and public health effects for all food products of the 
       U.S. food system. Exploring Health and Environmental Costs
       of Food: Workshop Summary provides the basis for a follow-
       up planning discussion involving members of the IOM Food 
       and Nutrition Board and the NRC Board on Agriculture and 
       Natural Resources and others to develop the scope and 
       areas of expertise needed for a larger-scale, consensus 
       study of the subject"--Publisher's description.
