Many of today’s most pressing health and environmental challenges are linked to food and food production. Global food production and consumption account for as much as 30% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, while malnutrition, obesity, and chronic lifestyle diseases are growing health problems. A transition to a sustainable food system that can both prevent common diseases and reduce environmental, and climate impact is essential. 

In 2019, EAT, in collaboration with the medical journal The Lancet, published the report The EAT-Lancet Commission. The report provided guidelines on how we should eat to feed a growing population with healthy food while staying within the planet’s boundaries. The report had a significant impact on both the public and policy contexts. In 2025, EAT-Lancet 2.0 will be published with more detailed information and roadmaps on how to achieve sustainable and healthy food systems. Spreading this knowledge and ensuring commitments are crucial to reaching the goal. 

Through this project EAT Foundation aims to contribute to a healthy and sustainable food system by spreading knowledge, increasing engagement, and ensuring commitments that promote a planetary health diet. 

The project is supported with 4 940 000 SEK.
