The Circular Economy

About This Collection

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity with the aim of inspiring a generation to re-think, re-design & build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy. Ellen MacArthur founded the Foundation to better understand how on land too we rely on finite resources in the form of materials, energy and water after her experiences as a world class sailor having sailed over 26,000 miles to become the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy over a 1000-day (3 year) period. The Annual Summit was held Wednesday 19 June 2013.

Where will you get our protein from in 2050?
March 27, 2020

Current food production methods are significantly degrading the planet, a problem exacerbated by a rapidly growing global population expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. This trend will drastically worsen ecosystem degradation and atmospheric warming.

To alter this trajectory, we must explore alternative food production methods. This session will examine how technology and design, particularly alternative proteins, can help address these critical issues.

Join us to hear from Laura Wellesley, a Research Fellow at Chatham House specializing in alternative proteins, and Daniel Jones, Senior Campaign Manager at Feedback, who will discuss technology's role in developing the food system.
