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 a healthy diet from a sustainable food system. This groundbreaking report was launched in Oslo, Norway on January 17, 2019. Since then this report has been released in over 25 countries.
We are thrilled to invite you to the release of the EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, Health in New Delhi, India.
Join us on April 4, 2019 at the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) Headquarters at FDA Bhavan, New Delhi.
