The Planetary Health Diet

Join us to benefit both people and planet.

The planetary health diet is a global reference diet for adults that is symbolically represented by half a plate of fruits and vegetables.

The other half consists of primarily whole grains, plant proteins (beans, lentils, pulses, nuts), unsaturated plant oils, modest amounts of meat and dairy, and some added sugars and starchy vegetables.

The diet is quite flexible and allows for adaptation to dietary needs, personal preferences and cultural traditions. Vegetarian and vegan diets are two healthy options within the planetary health diet but are personal choices.
