The EAT–Lancet Commission on healthy, sustainable, and just food systems

Summary

The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission on healthy, sustainable, and just food systems presents new evidence-based insights on nutrition and human health, within safe and just planetary boundaries. New to this Commission are updates to the planetary health diet, measurement and assessment of the impact food systems have in driving transgressions of planetary boundaries, an exploration of multi-dimensional and underlying issues of food justice, new research and extensive modelling insights, and transformative and action-based recommendations and roadmaps.

The Commission lays the foundations for food systems to take a central role in the post-SDG era, presenting global, regional, local, and individual means to achieve that while creating and retaining a just social foundation, that protects human health and minimises harms to planetary health.
