The answer is yes, but it will only be possible by transforming eating habits, improving food production and reducing food waste. The EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, Health brought together 37 world-leading scientists from across the globe to answer this very question. The Commission found that if we change the way we produce, consume, transport and waste food, we can feed everyone a healthy diet while improving the health of our planet. According to the findings, meat can remain on our plate, but plants need to be the new main course. We should eat a huge variety of fruits and vegetables and a low amount of meat, dairy and seafood. We should choose unsaturated fats and stay away from refined grains, highly processed foods and added sugars. Producing and consuming food more efficiently and mindfully will help to keep our planet flourishing.
