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.

The Big Food Workshop - THIRD COURSE * THE MEAL: From the plate, back to the land
June 17, 2020

Join us for two interactive sessions exploring the meal's role in a circular economy for food. We'll discuss how tomorrow's food can be grown regeneratively, tackling climate change and boosting biodiversity through natural systems. Experts will share visions on technology and urban-rural relationships.

The second session focuses on returning nutrients to the land. Imagine a future where discarded organic materials are valorized, becoming valuable inputs instead of waste. By preventing edible food waste and redesigning products, by-products will enrich the wider economy, safely returning vital nutrients to the soil.
