Dietary Shift Competition (DISH)
Sourcing solutions in Kenya and Indonesia to encourage dietary shifts in line with the EAT-Lancet report and Planetary Health Diet
Explore moreThe Dietary Shift Competition (DISH) 2024 is a collaborative project between EAT, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), and the Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU).
The aim is to build on existing capabilities and ensure that recommendations from the EAT-Lancet Commission 2.0 and the Food System Economics Commission (FSEC) are actionable, context-based and widely accepted.
In 2024, the DISH project aimed to identify 10-14 integrated and viable country-generated solutions to promote dietary shifts. These solutions were context specific to Kenya and Indonesia, rooted in global insights but locally adapted.
The competition invited all food system actors in Kenya and Indonesia — think tanks, policy makers, influencers, chefs and restaurants, food and beverage industry, marketers technology and innovation sectors, entrepreneurs, businesses and civil society — to propose well-researched ideas that promote healthy and sustainable dietary habits aligned with the Planetary Health Diet.
The top 15 finalists in each country were awarded 1,000 USD for their winning solutions.
Dietary shift solutions: Global and local insights
To support participants, EAT has developed two reports on dietary shift solutions: one offering a snapshot of global solutions and another based on local insights from Kenya and Indonesia through interviews and literature review.
The outcome: Bundled solutions that address dietary shifts towards more healthy and sustainable diets in Kenya and Indonesia
The DISH project concluded in March 2025, having gone through a successful competition and workshop process to bundle the solutions together.
