The True Animal Protein Price Coalition (TAPP Coalition), is a new organization in Amsterdam, founded in 2018, that is committed to paying the ‘true’ price of food. This includes costs for the environment, health and animal welfare. In practice, this means that meat and dairy products should be slightly more expensive, and fruit and vegetables cheaper. The proceeds from the introduction of the fair price are intended for farmers because of (additional) performance in the field of the environment (nitrogen, circular agriculture, climate), animal welfare and nature. Since the autumn of 2020, Studenten voor Morgen has started a project together with TAPP to introduce the fair meat price in canteens of colleges and universities.
