The way our food is produced and designed is one of the largest contributors to some of our most significant global challenges from biodiversity loss to climate change. But what if it was possible to reverse that and to create food that was nature and climate positive? The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's newest publication argues that not only is this possible through better design, but also represents a significant opportunity for food manufacturers and retailers to make food that’s better for customers, better for farmers, and better for business. In this episode of the Circular Economy Show, we'll be joined by Emma Chow and Gaelle Le Gelard from the Foundation's team to discuss: Why we need to move beyond incremental sourcing improvements to a rethink of ingredients and product portfolios, especially amongst the globe’s largest food manufacturers and retailers. Why ‘food design' is such a crucial concept for the future of our food system. What the nature positive foods of the future might actually look like.

Powered by Restream https://restream.io/ The risks of continuing to operate in a linear, extractive economic model are becoming more evident by the day, affecting not just the global economy, but the financial sector that underpins it. In this episode, we'll present new evidence from Bocconi University on the de-risking effect of the circular economy, driven by characteristics such as resource decoupling and business model diversification, creating opportunities across sectors for investors and financial institutions. We will be joined by Max Tellini, Head of Circular Economy at Intesa Sanpaolo, an Italian bank that has taken advantage of the circular economy as a value creation strategy, and Claudio Zara, Professor and Researcher at Bocconi University, in conversation with Emily Healy, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Finance Initiative Project Manager.

There are many examples of innovative regenerative agriculture farming methods proving that it is possible to regenerate nature and for our food to become part of the solution to global challenges like biodiversity loss and climate change. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s recent publication highlighted the critical role that food manufacturers and retailers can play in catalysing the shift to a regenerative food production system by redesigning product portfolios, developing iconic products, creating a new dynamic with farmers, working with new on-farm metrics, and advocating for a strong policy environment. Tune in to see examples of innovative farming practices in action and to hear perspectives on the topic from: Karen Cooper, Nestle Gabriella Galindo Hernandez, Danone

Clothes are an everyday necessity, and for many an important aspect of self-expression. Yet the way clothes are made and used today is extremely wasteful and polluting. Make Fashion Circular, an initiative by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation drives collaboration between industry leaders and other key stakeholders to create a textiles economy fit for the 21st century. Its ambition is to ensure clothes are made from safe and renewable materials, new business models increase their use, and old clothes are turned into new. This new textiles economy would benefit business, society, and the environment.

Sustainable Development Goal 12 is about "responsible consumption and production". Worldwide consumption and production rely on the use of the natural environment and resources in a way that continues to have destructive impacts on the planet. And if we speak honestly, we know that much of this overconsumption drives the global economy and allows businesses to thrive. To solve big problems like climate change, waste, and pollution, we need a big idea. This big idea is the circular economy, rethinking how we design, make, and use the things we need, from the food we eat to the clothes we wear. We teamed up with Luisa Santiago from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, leaders in developing and promoting the idea of a circular economy, to understand how businesses can, or already do, contribute to SDG 12.
