Scientists say transforming global food systems could prevent 15 million deaths a year and cut agricultural emissions by 15 percent, the EAT-Lancet Commission report finds.
The review links diets, farming, biodiversity and labor to human and planetary health and concludes that a shift to healthier plant-based diets is essential to avoid the worst effects of climate change.
The new @eatforum report is clear: a healthier, more sustainable future means eating more plants and less meat.

The commission recommends one serving of animal protein and dairy per day and limiting red meat to about once a week in wealthy countries. With higher yields and less food waste, cuts could reach 20 percent.
The authors warn cleaner energy alone will not stop biodiversity loss or food insecurity without food-system reform.
🌍 The new #EATLancet report is clear: plant-based diets can save millions of lives, cut food’s planetary impact & unlock $5T in economic benefits.

The report urges leaders to add food measures at U.N. climate talks and stresses justice for farmers, Indigenous peoples and vulnerable communities. It says dietary shifts can help when paired with policy and supply chain reforms.
Small changes by consumers, the researchers note, can make a measurable difference when backed by national policy.
