New report: EAT-Lancet Commission
Newly released report shares science to support healthy diets from sustainable food systems. The findings shared in their report, ‘Food in the Anthropocene: the EAT–Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems’ offers a perspective that relates directly to the One Planet network’s current cross-cutting theme of food. The Summary Report of the EAT-Lancet Commission is available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Indonesian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
The EAT-Lancet Commission
Co-chaired by Prof. Walter Willett and Prof. Johan Rockström, the EAT-Lancet Commission brings together world-leading researchers in nutrition, health, sustainability and policy from across the world in order to answer this question: Can we feed a future population of 10 billion people a healthy diet within planetary boundaries? The Stockholm Resilience Centre housed the EAT-Lancet Commission’s secretariat and co-led the Commission’s research activities with EAT.
According to report: "Food will be a defining issue of the 21st century. Unlocking its potential will catalyse the achievement of both the SDGs and Paris Agreement. An unprecedented opportunity exists to develop food systems as a common thread between many international, national, and business policy frameworks aiming for improved human health and environmental sustainability. Establishing clear, scientific targets to guide food system transformation is an important step in realizing this opportunity."
