The Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, Health

The Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, and Health is a global initiative that examines how our food systems impact both human health and the environment. It highlights that current practices, like intensive farming and overconsumption, contribute to climate change, loss of biodiversity, and health issues such as obesity and diseases. The commission advocates for sustainable, healthy diets—mainly plant-based and less resource-intensive—to protect the planet while improving public health. Its goal is to promote policies and practices that balance feeding a growing population with preserving Earth's ecosystems for future generations.
