Power on a Plate:
Science, Stories,
and Systems Change
A global storytelling campaign bringing the science of the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission to life, through powerful films that show how healthy, sustainable and just food systems can become reality.
The way we grow, produce, transport, waste and eat food is putting pressure on both people and the planet.
The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission lays out a clear, science-based pathway for food systems transformation, connecting healthy diets, sustainable production, and just policies.
Through our partnership with impact platform WaterBear, EAT is bringing this science to life through film, sharing real examples of communities building of the kind of healthy, sustainable, and just food systems the Commission envisions.
As Mexico City’s ancient chinampa gardens teeter on extinction, Indigenous chinamperos partner with co-operative Arca Tierra to revive these pre-Aztec floating farms. While restoring biodiversity, sinking carbon, and producing nutrient-dense, regenerative vegetables for schools, this low-impact food system generates local jobs, delivers food-education programs, and puts Mexico City on a culturally rooted path to healing its people and the planet.
As drought and climate shocks threaten Kenya’s Maasai lands, Selina Nkoile defies cultural expectations to lead a grassroots movement in regenerative farming. Drawing on ancestral wisdom and modern permaculture, she teaches local women to harvest rainwater, compost, and grow nutrient-dense indigenous crops. Their quiet revolution helps revive drought-stricken lands, fights malnutrition, and redefines what it means to be a woman in Maasai society.
