EAT-lancet report – summary
the EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets from
Sustainable Food Systems: The Commission focuses in two
selections, which are: “end-points” of the global food system:
Five Strategies for a Great Food Transformation
x Seek international and national commitment to shift toward healthy diet:
Increased consumption of plant-based foods – including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and
whole grains – while in many settings substantially limiting animal source foods. This
concerted commitment can be achieved by making healthy foods more available, accessible
and affordable in place of unhealthier alternatives, improving information and food
marketing, investing in public health information and sustainability education, implementing
food-based dietary guidelines, and using health care services to deliver dietary advice and
interventions.
x Reorient agricultural priorities from producing high quantities of food to producing healthy
food: Agriculture and fisheries must not only produce enough calories to feed a growing
global population but must also produce a diversity of foods that nurture human health and
support environmental sustainability.
x Sustainably intensify food production to increase high-quality output:
The current global food system requires a new agricultural revolution that is based on
sustainable intensification and driven by sustainability and system innovation. This would
entail at least a 75% reduction of yield gaps on current cropland, radical improvements in
fertilizer and water use efficiency, etc.
, x Strong and coordinated governance of land and ocean:
This implies feeding humanity on existing agricultural land i.e., by implementing a zero-
expansion policy of new agricultural land into natural ecosystems and species-rich forests,
aiming management policies at restoring and reforesting degraded land, establishing
international land use governance mechanisms, and adopting a "Half Earth" strategy for
biodiversity conservation and improving the management of the worlds ocean.
x At least halve food losses and waste, in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals:
Substantially reducing food losses at the production side and food waste at the consumption
side is essential for the global food system to stay within a safe operating space. Actions
include improving post-harvest infrastructure, food transport, processing and packing,
increasing collaboration along the supply chain, training and equipping producers, and
educating consumers.
Generally speaking, the greatest environmental benefit can be achieved by:
x wasting less food;
x eating less meat and more sources of plant-based proteins, such as pulses and nuts.
x only eating what you need.
x replacing alcohol, fruit juices and soft drinks with tap water, tea and/or coffee.
This advice is in line with previous guidance from the Health Council on a sustainable, healthy diet.
Solutions to combat waste and promote sustainable food are three things:
x optimise the management and use of resources such as soil,
water, biodiversity and minerals (nitrogen and phosphorus).
x stop wasting food.
x promote the utilisation of waste.
How do you measure sustainability? The environmental impact of
diets can be measured using a number of different indicators. The
choice of indicator depends on the level you are looking at. You can
look at individual or national diets, for example, or at the product
level. The most studied and most commonly used indicators at the
national level are the ecological footprint, carbon footprint, water
footprint and energy footprint.
