EAT-Lancet 2025 in Action: Bridging Science and Practice

Global geopolitical instability and rising food prices are intensifying vulnerabilities in food systems worldwide, creating urgent challenges for food security, health, and equity. While current food systems have largely succeeded in providing sufficient calories for a growing global population, they are also the leading driver of planetary boundary transgressions and fail to deliver healthy diets for more than half of the world’s population. This has profound consequences for public health, social justice, and environmental sustainability. Dutch stakeholders working in this domain in LMICs are faced with these challenges, directly affecting their programmes and/or their business. Despite this context, there is an urgent need for transformative actions to halt these negative consequences and accelerate actions that result in access to affordable sustainable healthy diets that operate within the planetary boundaries, both in the Netherlands and in LMICs.

Join us on the 26th February 2026, in The Hague, to listen to and discuss the findings of the EAT-Lancet Commission 2025. The keynote speaker Dr. Fabrice DeClerck, Chief Science Office at EAT, who leads EAT’s research and synthesis science, will explain the EAT-Lancet Commission’s findings.

This event will create space to reflect on the presented findings. In interactive small groups, practitioners can discuss how research evidence can be put into practice through collective brainstorming on pathways and collaborations, culminating in a plenary discussion. Together, these sessions will offer opportunities to reflect, exchange ideas, and strengthen collective efforts to translate cutting-edge science into meaningful action and impact.

A detailed programme will follow shortly.

If you are a practice oriented professional working in civil society, research, education, government or in the private sector and you are interested, please register here and we will keep you updated on the venue and the programme. 

After the event, lunch will be provided to continue the discussion and for networking.
