And EAT-Lancet identified barriers that need to be overcome to create a healthy and just food system dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(25)01…

Barriers To Transformation → Insufficient political leadership → Corporate interests that block change → Weak and fragmented public demand for action

Food systems cannot be just without ensuring the planetary health diet is affordable and accessible to all, and without substantially reducing transgressions of planetary boundaries

Each new framing builds upon and includes elements of the previous framing(s), leading to some conceptual overlap between frames. (b) Geographic distribution of the four framings in this review, and numbers of publications in each country

Figure 1 Visualisation of the concept of the safe and just corridor. AUthors quantified eight safe and just ESBs, indicating the maximum pressure that can be exerted on that domain that is both safe and just for people and the planet. These ESBs form the ceiling of a safe and just corridor, for which the base is the level of pressure that would be exerted on the Earth system to ensure universal provision of minimum access to food, water, energy, and infrastructure. ESB=Earth-system boundary.
