When the first EAT-Lancet Commission launched in 2019, it put the “Planetary Health Diet” on the global agenda, uniting nutrition and sustainability in one set of global scientific targets and sparking one of the most influential food conversations of the decade. 

Six years on, the 2025 update has arrived and this time, the report broadens the agenda. Alongside health and the environment, justice is brought centre stage: asking how food systems can uphold the right to food and the right to a healthy environment. It’s a recognition that sustainability alone isn’t enough if diets aren’t also fair and accessible to everyone. 

For dietitians, this isn’t just about global goals it’s about the realities we face every day. Whether it’s helping patients access affordable healthy food, shaping healthier menus in institutions, or contributing to national guidelines, the call for justice and sustainability is increasingly part of our professional landscape. 

Fresh back from the Stockholm Food Forum and the launch of the 2025 EAT–Lancet report, I’m joined by Ellen Cecilie Wright, Senior Science Officer at EAT. 

Ellen has more than a decade of experience working with UN agencies and international organisations, with her early career focused on nutrition and food security in emergency contexts around the world. Today, her work centres on healthy, sustainable food systems, and alongside her role at EAT she is completing a PhD at the University of Oslo, focusing on sustainable diets.
