FOOD2050 teams up with PAN International to advance the Planetary Health Diet from science to the serving line

Valley partner FOOD2050 has partnered with PAN International to help canteens, hospitals, and universities make meals more sustainable and healthier.

FOOD2050’s innovative software enables food-service teams to plan, monitor, and communicate the climate and nutritional impact of every meal. Grounded in the principles of the Planetary Health Diet, the platform already tracks sustainability and meal balance across more than 170 operations in Switzerland, with plans to expand globally.

Through this partnership, PAN International will contribute its medical and nutritional expertise to strengthen FOOD2050’s evolving health-impact model, ensuring dietary data is scientifically validated and aligned with evidence-based nutrition frameworks. Together, the partners aim to make healthy, climate-friendly food choices the easy and transparent option in institutional kitchens worldwide.

“We share a vision of empowering kitchens and consumers with data-driven insights that benefits both people and the planet,” says Kerstin Plehwe, President and CEO of PAN International. “By combining FOOD2050’s innovative technology with PAN’s medical expertise, we can help transform the way health and sustainability are measured and communicated across food systems.”

This shared purpose forms the foundation of the partnership, uniting technology and medical science to make the Planetary Health Diet practical and measurable at scale.

“At FOOD2050, our goal is to help food-service operators make measurable progress
toward the Planetary Health Diet without compromising on quality or practicality,” adds Christian Kramer, CEO and Co-founder of FOOD2050. “Partnering with PAN allows us to refine our health-impact models and ensure they are grounded in medical science, a key step toward linking sustainability and health in everyday meal decisions.”

This collaboration marks the beginning of an exciting journey to bring science-based nutrition and sustainability insights directly to the places where millions of meals are prepared and served each day.
