On June 4, 2019, the Netherlands launch of IFPRI’s 2019 Global Food Policy Report takes place, together with the launch of the 2019 EAT-Lancet Report. The meeting is organized by IFPRI and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is by invitation only.

The 2019 EAT-Lancet Report has generated a lot of attention for the link between food, health and the planet. What can we learn from this report? Is it business as usual for the Dutch Food and Nutrition Security (FNS) policy? We like to search for an answer to this question with you by looking at the EAT-Lancet Report and compare it to the yearly IFPRI Global Food Policy Report. Join us in a discussion with the writers and a panel of experts representing the “Dutch Diamond” on FNS.
