The EAT-Lancet Diet is unaffordable, but who is to blame? (DEVEX)

December 03, 2019


Devex reported on the co-authored study Affordability of the EAT–Lancet  Reference Diet: A Global Analysis from Senior Research Fellows Kalle Hirvonen and Derek Headey. The EAT-Lancet diet has been criticized by both wealthy countries and developing countries. Kalle Hirvonen stated, “If the dietary targets would be helpful for health and planet and if some of these foods are expensive or the diet is unaffordable, then it indicates there is something wrong in the food system or the economic system and we ought to fix it. This is a very useful alert to focus on these issues and work harder.”
