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.

Soukeyna Gueye of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation outlines three key business steps to tackle biodiversity loss. Read their Biodiversity Paper: bit.ly/3kgnL7f.

Sustainable Development Goal 12 addresses responsible consumption and production. Current global practices, driven by overconsumption, significantly harm the planet and its natural resources.

To tackle major problems like climate change, waste, and pollution, the circular economy offers a solution. This approach rethinks how we design, make, and use everything, from food to clothing.

We partnered with Luisa Santiago from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a leader in circular economy development, to explore how businesses contribute to SDG 12.

As urban populations grow, addressing safe housing, affordable transport, and sustainable urbanization is crucial. This requires collaboration from all city stakeholders: governments, citizens, and businesses.

Indonesia is the world's second-largest food waste contributor, despite widespread poverty and unsustainable protein sources threatening marine ecosystems. Rendria Labde, co-founder of agritech Magalarva, offers a solution. Inspired by a landfill visit, he founded Magalarva in 2017, utilizing Black Soldier Flies (BSF) as a natural intervention.

At Magalarva, BSF larvae efficiently consume organic waste. These larvae are then harvested and converted into valuable products like fertilizer, fishmeal, or dried protein powder for pets, providing a sustainable solution to waste and protein scarcity.

Rendria, a Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia honoree, is a mechanical engineer and permaculturist. This TEDx talk explores his innovative work. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
