A new update from the EAT-Lancet Commission emphasizes that adopting a plant-rich planetary health diet could prevent 40,000 early deaths daily worldwide and cut food-related emissions by half by 2050. The diet promotes vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, with modest meat, aligning health and environmental goals. Recent studies reinforce the importance of reducing red meat, especially in high-income countries, to combat climate change and improve health outcomes. The report urges policymakers to incorporate these findings into climate strategies, highlighting food systems as the largest contributor to environmental degradation and societal inequality.
