Can we feed a future population of 10 billion people a healthy diet within planetary boundaries? 

To answer this question, EAT gathered 37 of the planet’s foremost experts who, for the first time ever, propose scientific targets for what constitutes both a healthy diet and a sustainable food system.

We are thrilled to invite you to the global launch of the report of the EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, Health.
