SUMMARY

Patterns of how and where people meet and eat have evolved to provide fast, cheap food that relies on a harmful transnational industrial food system. This trend has implications for health, resilience and agricultural sustainability. Dietary change is crucial to reverse the global impact on health, longevity, and the environment. FSEC modelling emphasizes that fostering a healthy food environment is biophysically feasible and the most powerful strategy to improve human and planetary well-being.
