In "Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law," Mary Roach explores human-animal conflict, questioning human responsibility in animal conflicts. Her global research finds hope for symbiotic coexistence with our critter counterparts.

Roach will share wild stories, like rat-bait taste testing, at an INFORUM event on September 21, 2021. She will guide a conversation on safe human-animal integration, moderated by Wired's science editor, Kara Platoni. The event is hosted by The Commonwealth Club of California, the nation's oldest and largest public affairs forum.

Food production significantly contributes to global challenges like biodiversity loss and climate change. However, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's latest publication argues that creating nature and climate-positive food is possible through better design. This presents a major opportunity for food manufacturers and retailers to benefit customers, farmers, and their businesses.

In a new episode of the Circular Economy Show, Emma Chow and Gaelle Le Gelard from the Foundation will discuss why a fundamental rethink of ingredients and product portfolios is needed, moving beyond incremental sourcing. They will explore the crucial concept of 'food design' and envision what nature-positive foods of the future could look like.

Lithium Nevada Corporation plans a 28-square-mile lithium mine in Thacker Pass, Nevada. This project faces significant opposition from environmentalists, local ranchers, farmers, and several Native American tribes. Concerns center on the mine's potential harm to wildlife, water resources, pollution, and the destruction of sacred sites, highlighting the vast scale of the proposed operation.

Nevada is home to some of the last wild places. Help protect these lands for future generations by visiting ProtectThackerPass.org.

Paul Slovic examines "psychic numbing," our tendency to ignore mass tragedies despite valuing individual lives. He explains that as numbers grow, we become desensitized, failing to act against catastrophic losses from poverty, disease, climate disasters, and violence. Understanding this cognitive bias is crucial for motivating effective responses.

Dr. Slovic, a professor of psychology at the University of Oregon and President of Decision Research (which he co-founded), is a leading expert in risk perception. His extensive work, including research on global threats, has earned him numerous accolades, such as election to the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Supermarkets, controlled by a few retailers, offer global food at low prices but contribute to consumer disconnection, overconsumption, and resource waste. This highlights critical issues in our food systems.

Dr. Emma Campbell, a Research Fellow at Queen's University Belfast, focuses on sustainable relationships between people, food, and place. She uses design and systems-thinking to address these complex problems.

Currently, Emma works on the Innovate UK-funded Ideal Home project with Moy Park. This initiative aims to redesign poultry infrastructure to boost productivity, enhance animal welfare, and achieve net-zero emissions by 2040. Her talk was given at a TEDx event.
