The Planetary Health Diet (PHD) is an innovative nutritional approach that combines health and sustainability. Developed by the EAT-Lancet Commission, it aims to feed ten billion people a healthy diet by 2050, without exceeding planetary boundaries. The focus is on a predominantly plant-based diet that can be adapted to cultural and regional circumstances.
The PHD was developed by 37 experts from 16 countries and combines knowledge from the areas of health, nutrition, sustainability and politics. Since its introduction in 2019, it has served as a reference frame for a nutritional transition that prioritizes both human well-being and the protection of ecosystems. The German Nutrition Society has integrated similar sustainability aspects into its recommendations in 2024.
A central aspect of the PHD is to drastically reduce the consumption of red meat and sugar, while doubling the consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts. This diet could significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart problems, diabetes and cancer. A 2024 Harvard study confirms that a strong orientation towards PHD can reduce the risk of premature death by 30 percent.
However, the implementation of the PHD faces major challenges. Deeply rooted eating habits and economic inequalities make global adaptation difficult. Critics complain that the calorie guideline of 2,500 kcal is only an average and individual needs are not taken into account. Nevertheless, the PHD is seen as a guide that requires gradual changes.
An update to the EAT-Lancet report from 2025 expands the concept to include the equity factor, as a healthy and sustainable diet must be affordable for all people. The first steps towards implementation are already visible, such as the adaptation of national nutritional recommendations in Germany and Switzerland as well as programs for more plant-based meals in schools and hospitals.
