EAT-Lancet Commission recommends “planetary healthy diet” at United Nations meeting
The EAT-Lancet Commission launched its global planetary health dietary recommendations at the United Nations, the latest in a series of proposals by the commission calling for drastic changes to both diet and food production.
The 37 experts from 16 countries with expertise across the health, environment, economic, and political spectrums were tasked with providing a scientific consensus on how to provide a healthy diet to a growing global population, while protecting the environment. Globally, there are over 800 million people who do not have enough to eat. However, in more developed countries, diet-driven chronic diseases are on the rise, in in the U.S., over half of the population have a chronic health condition.
