The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission Report Launches

2. October 2025
Overview

The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission is a scientific update on what defines a healthy, sustainable, just food system in today’s world.

Building on the landmark 2019 report, it:

• Reviews new evidence on food systems across health, climate, biodiversity and justice.

• Updates the Planetary Health Diet, showing how culturally adaptable, plant-rich diets can benefit people.

• Assesses food’s impact on all planetary boundaries, including emissions, land use, and freshwater.

• Introduces global modelling to show how we can feed 10 billion people within environmental limits.

• Puts justice at the center — from fair wages to healthy food access.

• Identifies 8 solution areas to guide food systems transformation

Co-chaired by Walter WillettJohan Rockström and Shakuntala Thilsted, the Commission brings together over 70 experts from six continents.

This is a defining scientific moment for food systems, and a call to action for a healthy, just and more liveable future.
