Producers will end up bearing the costs.
Very few of the countries who import our products care about any environmental footprint so there won't be any premium.
We will just add layers upon layers of regulations and red tape and bureaucracy and price ourselves out of most export markets. Probably even price ourselves out of our own domestic markets.
I would be in favor of the organic model where producers, processors and exporters can voluntarily sign up for the environmentally sustainable program and cater to the niche markets they develop. If the premium is worth the cost, producers will flock to the system.
