Our food system is currently threatening both people and the planet. While global food production of calories has generally kept pace with population growth, more than 820 million people still lack sufficient food and many more consume too much food. Global food production also constitutes the single largest driver of environmental degradation. This calls for radical transformation of the global food system. (Source : EAT-Lancet Commission)
