Hot Topics Call: Food in the Anthropocene: The EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets from Sustainable Food Systems
Wednesday, April 24 | Noon - 1 p.m. ET | Register
About the Webinar
The EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, and Health brings together more than 30 world-leading scientists from across the globe to reach a scientific consensus that defines a healthy and sustainable diet. The Commission has delivered what it deems the first full scientific review of what constitutes a healthy diet from a sustainable food system, and which actions can support and speed up food system transformation.
The Division of Sustainable Food Systems is very pleased to host this Hot Topic Call featuring lead author Walter Willett, who will provide a brief overview of the EAT- Lancet report, and address some of the feedback that has resulted. The remaining time is dedicated to audience comments and Q&A. To more fully illustrate key themes, we strongly encourage participants to review this report on the topic, as well as this presentation from Dr. Willett prior to joining the call.

As we head into spring, it's timely to take a look at farmers markets (FM). They've been around a long time in one form or another. Yet they have certainly evolved: from their location (senior centers), to products offered to how to pay (acceptance of SNAP/WIC benefits and credit cards).

Anthropocene
Organic farms are home to a greater diversity of soil microbes and insects that could fight off the threat of deadly food-borne pathogens, a new study shows. Writing in the Journal of Applied Ecology, a team of international researchers explain that the spread of pathogens, such as fecal E.coli bacteria, on farmland has caused thousands of deaths and millions of illnesses globally. That's driven farmers to remove natural habitat like hedgerows and ponds from their land, because they're thought to attract wild and domesticated animals which cause the problem by fouling nearby crops with their pathogenic feces. While this more simplified vision of farmland may threaten biodiversity and reduce crucial ecosystem services like pollination, it's nevertheless seen as an essential move for food safety.
