The food industry significantly contributes to biodiversity loss and global greenhouse gas emissions. However, food can be designed to allow nature to thrive.

Circular design for food rethinks ingredients and production, empowering brands and supermarkets to create a system that benefits nature and climate. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, champions this circular economy concept—eliminating waste, circulating materials, and regenerating nature.
