EAT’s advisory board comprises of a diversity of representatives from partner institutions and recognized experts from the food service industry, politics, international development, finance, civil society and media. The breadth of the group illustrates EAT’s vision of cross-sectoral collaboration. It provides strategic advice to EAT’s leadership on the organization’s projects, activities and long-term strategy. This includes defining priorities, ensuring the scientific quality of the food forums, advising on new partnerships and increasing public awareness.
It is chaired by Professor Johan Rockström and meets formally twice a year. See previous members on our Alumni page.
