Om arbeidsgiveren
Presentation of EAT Foundation
- EAT is the science-based global platform for food system transformation
- EAT is a non-profit dedicated to transforming our global food system through sound science, impatient disruption, and novel partnerships
- EAT is a non-profit founded by the Stordalen Foundation, Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Wellcome Trust to catalyze a food system transformation
Today’s global food system is failing both people and planet. While over 800 million people – more than one in 10 worldwide – suffer from undernutrition, one third of all food produced goes to waste. Levels of overweight and obesity continue to increase, now affecting more than 2 billion children and adults. Unhealthy diets have become a leading risk factor for disease globally and the main driver of the epidemic of chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, putting an enormous and rapidly growing burden on healthcare systems.
How we grow, process, transport, consume and waste food is also driving our global environmental crises. The agricultural sector is the single biggest emitter of greenhouse gases and a major contributor to deforestation,species extinction, and the depletion of both marine systems and freshwater resources. As hunger rises – powered significantly by climate change – greater pressure mounts on an already overstretched, inefficient and unsustainable food system, further accelerating climate change and ecological decline.
It is the interlinkages between these great threats that define their urgent potency – but also provide us our greatest opportunities for action. Just as the challenges are intimately intertwined, our actions must be integrated across sectors, disciplines, and continents. A core premise of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is that we will never achieve the future we want by repeating past mistakes, nor by working in silos. To end malnutrition in all itsforms, we must holistically address all food-related challenges. This is the premise for how EAT works.
Our Vision, Mission, and Values
Our vision is a fair and sustainable global food system for healthy people and planet – leaving no one behind.
Our mission is to transform our global food system through sound science, impatient disruption, and novel partnerships.
Everything we do is guided by a set of principles that define our character and working culture. These values are the shared convictions that we bring to our professional and personal conduct. We:
- Scale bold systems change based on solid science
- Accelerate impact through collaboration
- Deliver disruptive solutions, where others can’t
- Embody diversity, honesty, and integrity
- Champion fairness and equity, leaving no one behind
How we work
To ensure success, EAT connects and partners across science, policy, business, and civil society to achieve five urgent and radical transformations by 2050.
We work to:
- Shift the world to healthy, tasty, and sustainable diets
- Realign food system priorities for people and planet
- Produce more of the right food, from less
- Safeguard our land and oceans
- Radically reduce food losses and waste
