• What is the perspective of SDG's by 2050?

  To ensure healthy diets from sustainable food systems for nearly 10 billion people

• What are the caracteristics of sustainable diets? What are the benefits?

  - rich in plant-based foods 
  - fewer animal source food 
  * improved health and environmental benefits
  * 'win-win' diets (good for both people and planet)
  *  still no global consensus 

• What is the EAT-Lancet (commission)?

  Science-based global platform for food system transformation 
  - 37 leading scientists from 16 countries in various disciplines coming together to develop global scientific targets for healthy diets and sustainable food production

• What are the 'end-points' of the EAT-lancet commission?

  1. Final consumption (healthy diets) 
  2. Production (sustainable food production) 
  -> food systems have environmental impacts along the entire supply chain (production and processing to retail) and reach beyond human and environmental health (also effecting society, culture, etc.), but it was necessary to place these issues outside their scope because of the breadth and depth of these topics. 

• Complete the sentence: unhealthy diets pose a greater risk to morbidity and mortality than... 

  ...unsafe sex, alcohol, drug, tobacco use (tabaksgebruik)

• What would happen if we took no action in the area of food and SDG's?

  - World risks failing to meet the un SDG's and the Paris agreement
  - today's children will inherit a planet that has been severely degraded and where much of the population will increasingly suffer from malnutrition and preventable disease 

• What does the planetary health picture consist of?

  
  

  • Half a plate of vegetables and fruit
    
  • Other half: primarily whole grains, plant protein sources,
    unsaturated plant oils and (optionally) modest amounts of animal sources of protein
    

• Six earth system processes the Commission focuses on:

  
  
  
  

  1. Climate change (GHG emissions)
     
  2. Land-system change (cropland use)
     
  3. Freshwater use (water use)
     
  4. Nitrogen cycling (N application)
     
  5. Phosphorus cycling (P application)
     
  6. Biodiversity loss (extinction rate)
     

  1. →Boundaries that global food production should stay within to decrease the risk of irreversible and potentially catastrophic shifts in the Earth system.
     

• what does the abbreviation FAO mean?

  UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization
  

  - Definition of food system: encompassingall the stages of keeping people fed: growing,
  harvesting, packing, processing, transporting, marketing, consuming and disposingof food (not one system, but systems withingsystems)
  

• what does the abbreviation AAAS mean? 

  
  
  
  The American Association for the Advancement of Science: reports that about 97% of climate scientists have concluded that human-caused climate change is happening
