The Circular Economy
What if your food could tackle climate change and build biodiversity?

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.
