Oslo, Norway, July 3, 2025
On October 3, EAT and The Lancet will launch the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission, a major scientific update to one of the most widely cited food systems reports of the past decade.
Publishing in The Lancet and launching at the EAT Stockholm Food Forum, the 2025 Commission addresses a critical question: how to feed a growing population within planetary boundaries, while putting justice and equity at the center of food systems transformation.
Building on the landmark 2019 EAT-Lancet report, the new Commission provides an updated review of what constitutes a healthy, sustainable and just food system in the context of today’s scientific, social, and environmental realities. It also draws on new evidence in the fields of dietary health, food systems’ impact on planetary boundaries, agricultural and livestock practices, economic modelling, and social justice.
The new report emphasizes cultural diversity and the importance of adapting healthy diets to regional and local contexts. A new focus on food justice expands the framework to include equity and human rights across the entire food system.
The Commission includes scenario-based modelling similar to IPCC climate pathways, to map out practical transitions to healthy, sustainable and just food futures.
The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission is the result of a three-year collaboration among 24 Commissioners from 17 countries. It represents a rare convergence of expertise in human health, agriculture, political science, behavioral science, food justice, and environmental sustainability. The Commission is co-chaired by Walter Willet, Johan Rockström, and Shakuntala Thilsted.
EAT, The Lancet and the co-chairs thank the Commissioners and their host institutions for contributing their time and expertise.
