The Oslo-based organization behind a groundbreaking study on food systems — the EAT Foundation — is winding down its operations, stating that its current organizational and funding model is “not sufficiently resilient for sustainable and ambitious operations in the years ahead.”
“This decision is taken against a backdrop of profound change in the international donor landscape, where funding priorities and conditions have shifted significantly,” read an EAT press release, which was published on Thursday.
While EAT’s board and management are exploring new pathways, partnerships, and models for some of its flagship initiatives to continue, the press release stated that “no concrete arrangements have been agreed at this stage,” though it added that “discussions are ongoing.”
