EAT Lancet commission’s Food Planet Health report was formally released in India. The EAT-Lancet Commission’s report, for the first time proposes scientific targets for what constitutes a healthy diet derived from a sustainable food system. Global food production of calories has kept pace with population growth, yet more than 820 million people still lack sufficient food, and many consume either low-quality diets or too much food.It emphasizes a plant-forward diet where whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes comprise a greater proportion of foods consumed. Meat and dairy constitute important parts of the diet but in significantly smaller proportions than whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes.On the other hand, global food production practices constitute the single largest driver of environmental degradation and transgression of planetary boundaries with deforestation, conversion of forest land to agricultural ones, emission of GHGs, extraction of water resources, overuse and misuse of fertilizers and pesticides etc. To address the both, a radical transformation of the global food system is needed. The shift to healthy diet is likely to prevent approximately 11 million deaths per year, along with major environmental benefits.

Explanation:

The report suggested Five Strategies for a Great Food Transformation.

Seek international and national commitment to shift toward healthy diets: like increased consumption of plant-based foods – including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains – and limiting animal source foods. This to be achieved by making healthy foods more available, accessible and affordable.

Reorient agricultural priorities from producing high quantities of food to producing healthy food: which includes producing a diversity of foods that nurture human health and support environmental sustainability.

Sustainably intensify food production to increase high-quality output: A new agricultural revolution which includes at least a 75% reduction of yield gaps on current cropland, implementing climate mitigation options including changes in crop and feed management, and enhancing biodiversity within agricultural systems. Also, to achieve negative emissions globally as per the Paris Agreement, making the global food system a net carbon sink from 2040 onward.

Strong and coordinated governance of land and oceans: which includes zero-expansion policy of new agricultural land into natural ecosystems and species-rich forests, restoring and reforesting degraded land and establishing international land use governance mechanisms.

least halve food losses and waste, in line with UN SDGs: at the production side and at the consumption side. Both technological solutions applied along the food supply chain and implementation of public policies are required.
