| Although this is a generalization supported by global trends, the EAT- Lancet Commission urges individuals, companies and government officials to use the scientific targets provided by this report to develop context-specific plans of action to ensure a healthy and sustainable future for all | The planetary health diet is flexible by providing guidelines to ranges of different food groups that together constitute an optimal diet for human health and environmental sustainability |
|---|---|
| Hence, the focus needs to be on both the reduction of fossil fuel emissions and the changing of diets | In addition, the report also identifies environmental limits for sustainable food systems that define a safe operating space for food production within planetary boundaries |
| הקהילה היא בהיקף של 30 שעות ומקנה גמול עם ציון | Today, food is a defining challenge of humanity by contributing to both poor health outcomes and severe environmental degradation |

| However, the Commission does flag that even with the assumption that the world fully decarbonizes by 2050, reaching the Paris Agreement requires three important contributions from agriculture: 1 halting land expansion into carbon rich ecosystems; 2 reducing methane and nitrogen dioxide emissions from agriculture, notably rice production and enteric fermentation from livestock; and 3 increased carbon storage in agricultural lands through improved cropland, pasture and rangeland management practices | Many studies focus on a few rather than all six of these environmental limits |
Meeting the targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement requires an urgent and fundamental shift in the ways that we produce and consume food.
