EAT@Home: COVID-19 : why a nature positive food system is the most effective way to build back better

16 December 2020, 4:00 – 5:30 pm CET

Convened by the EAT Forum, the EAT@Home virtual event series will delve into the transformation of food systems across health, climate change, biodiversity, and social equity. EAT@Home is the opportunity to engage with, contribute to and influence the movement for food system transformation leading up to the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit.

There is now ample evidence that nature plays a key role in the COVID-19 pandemic’s emergence and recovery. We propose a dashboard based on the two core planetary boundaries of climate change and nature loss, arguing that a sustainability transformation through which we rebuild our world differently with nature – neither against it nor considering it as a mere trade-off – is humanity’s best bet for the coming decades. A nature positive food system is the most effective way to build resilience against future shocks, including new pandemics.
