[14] In 2013, Stordalen founded the EAT Initiative with the idea of transforming the global food system to ensure the growing population a healthy and nutritious diet within safe environmental limits.
[15] The participants included Charles, Prince of Wales, who spoke via a link on the theme of 'The global food system: A sustainable future', former US President Bill Clinton, who gave the keynote speech, and Professor Hans Rosling.
Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland and Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway[16] took part in a discussion from a consumer perspective on food and health.
