EAT is a non-profit founded by the Stordalen Foundation, Stockholm Resilience Centre, and the Wellcome Trust, dedicated to transforming our global food system through sound science, impatient disruption, and novel partnerships. EAT is governed and managed by a board of trustees, while the advisory board provides management with strategic advice. EAT partners with a range of foundations, academic institutions, organizations, and companies with whom we collaborate on programs and who provide strategic advice, knowledge, and financial support to EAT.
EAT-Lancet Report: Healthy Diets from Sustainable Food Systems (2019, 2025 report is in progress!)
The EAT-Lancet Commission presents an integrated global framework and for the first time, provides quantitative scientific targets for healthy diets and sustainable food production. The Commission shows that feeding 10 billion people a healthy diet within safe planetary boundaries for food production by 2050 is both possible and necessary. The data are both sufficient and strong enough to warrant immediate action.
The conclusion: the global adoption of healthy diets from sustainable food systems would safeguard our planet and improve the health of billions. How food is produced, what is consumed, and how much is lost or wasted all heavily shape the health of both people and the planet.

EAT and The Lancet will launch the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission at the EAT Stockholm Food Forum from Oct 3-4, providing a major scientific update on how to feed a growing population within planetary boundaries, with a strong focus on justice and equity. Building on the 2019 report, the new Commission reviews what defines a healthy, sustainable, and just food system today, incorporating recent evidence on dietary health, environmental impacts, agricultural practices, economics, and social justice. The report highlights cultural diversity, the need for regionally adapted diets, and expands its framework to include equity and human rights throughout the food system.
Other EAT Initiatives
To translate knowledge into scalable action, EAT programs, partnerships, and communities of action focus on indigenous peoples, youth, children, countries, cities, chefs, farmers/fishers, health professionals, businesses, policymakers, trade, and finance aiming to bring about change.
Below are highlights of a few initiatives that are useful for Dietitians-Nutritionists, but there are many. Do visit their website!
EAT Brief for Healthcare Professionals (2024)
This is a 2-page flyer with key points from the report, useful for busy professionals. Download under the image.
Note: A slight tweak in the brief would have been ideal, as ‘a food’ can be sustainable or not sustainable – it depends on the system the food comes from and how much we use. At the end of the brief there is a great point about “Focusing on sustainably grown [and processed] food to provide healthy foods and beverages from sustainable food systems to a high standard.” This could have been moved to page 1 and slightly edited to include processing to set the tone of ‘sustainable systems’ throughout the brief, along with a few other edits to match.
EAT-GlobeScan Grains of Truth report (2024)
The report offers a comprehensive look at the evolving global food landscape through the eyes of consumers. Highlighting a growing interest in plant-based diets, the report explores how economic factors, taste preferences, and regional differences are shaping—and sometimes slowing—the shift toward more sustainable eating habits. Based on a robust online survey of over 30,000 adults across 31 countries conducted in mid-2024, the findings reveal both the optimism driving change and the challenges that remain on the path to a global dietary transformation.

EAT Communities for Action (2025)
From Knowledge to Action: Driving the Food System Change We Need. In the lead up to the October release of the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission report, EAT, working in collaboration with global partners, is running a series of structured dialogues to accelerate progress towards healthy, sustainable, and just food systems. At the center of this initiative are nine Communities for Action, each representing a distinct stakeholder group within the global food system. These communities are composed of frontline actors working to improve how food is produced, distributed, and consumed. Click through to join.
