The food industry significantly contributes to biodiversity loss and greenhouse gas emissions. What if food could regenerate nature? This vision powers the Big Food Redesign Challenge, explored in a new episode of The Circular Economy Show. Host Lucy Parker and guests Jonquil Hackenberg (Ellen MacArthur Foundation CEO), Wendy Schmidt (Schmidt Family Foundation), and chef Douglas McMaster discuss creating a food system better for people, nature, and climate, emphasizing innovation and rethinking our approach.

The food industry significantly contributes to biodiversity loss and a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. The Big Food Redesign Challenge envisions a food system designed to regenerate nature rather than harm it.

This episode of The Circular Economy Show, hosted by Lucy Parker, explores how learnings from the Challenge can create a food system better for people, nature, and climate. Guests include Jonquil Hackenberg of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Wendy Schmidt of [The Schmidt Family Foundation](https://tsffoundation.org/), and Michelin-starred chef Douglas McMaster of [Silo London](https://www.silolondon.com/).

6G cellular networks will be highly complex, requiring deep learning (DL) to achieve significant system-level gains through site-specific communication techniques. Prof. Jeffrey Andrews will present his group's DL innovations for 6G. These include a novel beam alignment approach offering up to 1000x speedup, a new architecture for high-dimensional channel estimation using deep generative networks, and site-specific multicell optimization that rapidly learns near-optimal antenna array settings, outperforming conventional 3GPP methods.

This webinar is organized by the ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies (ITU J-FET), an international journal providing free, comprehensive coverage of communications and networking research. Discover more about the ITU Journal here and explore the full webinar series programme here.

After Hurricane Irma flooded Miami in 2017, Will Charouhis founded We Are Forces of Nature, a youth-led climate group. It focuses on providing climate adaptation and mitigation strategies for coastal areas, particularly through mangrove conservation.

The group launched A Million Mangroves, an initiative that cleans, plants, and researches mangroves to improve restoration success. Charouhis, 17, also pioneers research at Miami's Seaquarium on mangrove species resilience to ocean acidification and warming.

He has shared his findings at UN climate conferences, aiming to increase global restoration efforts. His organization has educated 2,500 youth in 16 countries and is involved in collaborative mangrove restoration in Central Africa.

Whale biologists have documented the first-ever sperm whale birth, a powerful event captured by Shane Gero and the Project CETI team in the Caribbean. Gero, who has studied this specific whale family for nearly 20 years, observed an unusual gathering of 11 female whales during the birth.

The newborn was kept safe on the family's backs and heads for hours. Audio data revealed the whales transitioned from quiet to simultaneously "talking" with morse-code-like clicks, suggesting a celebration. Gero remarked, "It's hard not to see it as a celebration."

Dr. Morgan Levine, author of "True Age," outlines three dietary factors for longevity: quantity, quality, and timing. Caloric restriction (a 20% reduction) has shown lifespan benefits in animals, possibly by preventing overeating. A plant-based diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods while limiting animal products and refined sugars, is also beneficial. Fasting, or time-restricted eating, may mimic caloric restriction benefits via 'hormesis,' boosting resilience to aging.

Optimal diet is individual, influenced by genetics and age, and should be monitored via biological age and well-being. Dr. Levine, a former Yale professor now at Altos Labs, researches aging systems. For more, watch "The science of super longevity" or read the transcript on Big Think.

This episode explores how resetting systems creates better choices within the circular economy. We feature ReLondon's citizen initiatives, Barcelona's superblocks for pedestrian space, and Sao Paulo's food system redesign. The discussion also covers eliminating waste and pollution, a core circular economy principle, and addresses fashion questions.

Amara Ifeji, 20, recognized the lack of environmental opportunities in marginalized communities. In 2018, she began facilitating environmental learning for students of color. She later became a director for the Maine Environmental Changemakers Network, an intergenerational group of 400+ youth promoting a just, inclusive, and equitable environmental movement.

Amara elevates youth voices in state and federal policy. In 2021, she coordinated Maine’s first climate education summit, gathering young people’s visions. This led to her helping create and implement a bill funding over $2 million for climate education in the state. Learn more at broweryouthawards.org.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an adventure across the Great Plains, exploring the vital connection between species. He assists Native American tribes in re-establishing bison herds, a keystone species that once shaped the ecosystem. Historically, bison were nearly wiped out by western expansion, devastating both the plains and tribal cultures that depended on them.

The loss of bison had ripple effects, impacting predators, scavengers, and species like black-footed ferrets. Conservationists, led by the Intertribal Buffalo Council, are working to restore at least ten large herds. This effort not only revitalizes the environment but also helps Native American communities reconnect with their cultural heritage, ensuring the survival of the Great Plains ecosystem.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an Alaskan adventure to help save North America's impressive feathered flyers. He explores the ancient Tongass National Forest, learning how this old-growth ecosystem supports diverse wildlife, including goshawks, wolves, and salmon. The forest is also crucial for carbon sequestration, acting as a natural climate solution.

Later, Jeff visits the Alaska Raptor Center, encountering iconic bald eagles, great blue herons, and goshawks. He assists in releasing Diesel, a young bald eagle rehabilitated after being hit by a car, helping the bird return to the wild.
