Project Drawdown updates world’s leading set of climate solutions—adding 11 new solutions for addressing the climate crisis
Five years ago Project Drawdown published a collection of “drawdown solutions,” technologies and practices that, if ambitiously implemented together, can achieve drawdown—the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change. A newly released update of this landmark analysis adds 11 new…

The objective of this study is to estimate the GHGs of changing dietary patterns from individual self-selected diets in the United States from 2003 to 2018 and evaluate trends and potential disparities among demographic subgroups.
Read MoreHealthy and sustainable diets from today to 2050—The role of international trade
We characterize the food system using a set of metrics based upon the EAT-Lancet commission dietary guidelines for both over- and under-consumption of different foods to assess country-level dietary health and sustainability in tandem. Using a partial equilibrium model of agricultural production and trade, we then project the functioning of the global agricultural system to…

This study presents a new food system typology, implemented at the country level using parsimonious data that characterize food supply chains, food environments, consumer-related factors, and key outcomes, including dietary intake, nutritional status, health, and environmental impacts.

A Landmark report that established the concept (and scientific underpinnings) of “planetary health” as an essential foundation necesary for human flourishing and well being.
Read MoreGreenhouse gas emissions from food systems: building the evidence base
An expanded analysis that factored in long-overlooked factors such as transporation, packaging and waste estimates the food system’s carbon footprint is 1/3 of toal global greenhouse gas emissions.
