PEL Activator Projects: From Evidence to Action
The Activator Arm is PEL’s launchpad for turning evidence into action. Through this initiative, we partner with trusted organizations to fund and co-design high-impact projects that bring the Planetary Health Diet to life—on farms, in clinics, schools, hospitals, and communities.
The Planetary Health Diet reflects the same core principles as the PEL Diets: eating patterns centered on whole, minimally processed plant foods, with smaller and flexible roles for animal foods, designed to improve human health while protecting the planet. By using this globally recognized framework, our Activator Projects meet people where they are—across cultures, regions, and food systems—while advancing the same science-based approach that defines PEL.
Each Activator Project demonstrates how plant-forward, whole-food diets can reduce chronic disease, strengthen local food systems, and support environmental sustainability. By investing in practical, scalable solutions, the Activator Arm amplifies the work of our partners, accelerates adoption of healthier diets, and helps shift mindsets—from what we eat today to what’s possible for people and the planet tomorrow.
