Summary

This supplementary data release accompanies the EAT-Lancet Commission's landmark report on healthy diets from sustainable food systems. The dataset provides detailed quantitative analysis of the environmental footprints and food system implications of proposed dietary scenarios, disaggregated geographically and by commodity type, intended to support transparent assessment of the trade-offs between nutrition, sustainability and feasibility at global and regional scales.

UK applicability

The dataset's global scope and country-level granularity enable assessment of how the EAT-Lancet dietary recommendations would affect UK food production, consumption patterns and environmental burdens. The findings are directly relevant to UK food policy development and the Government's Food Strategy.

Key measures

Environmental impact metrics (likely including greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use); consumption data by food group; production data by country and region

Outcomes reported

The supplementary dataset quantifies global environmental impacts and food consumption and production patterns across different dietary scenarios aligned with the EAT-Lancet Commission recommendations, disaggregated by food group, country and region.
