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.
Join us for two interactive sessions exploring the future of eateries, powered by Restream.
The first session, "Chefs, Culinary Creativity, and Menu Design," features Alex Atala, Dan Barber, Kim Wejendorp, and Mokgadi Itsweng. They will share insights on developing successful food enterprises aligned with circular economy principles.
Next, "Innovation and Collaboration within the Food Value Network" highlights Compass Group and Baldor Specialty Foods. These leading organizations will discuss rethinking food potential, designing innovative menus, and fostering new partnerships.
This episode explores how art and design, beyond merely reflecting the world, actively steer values and stimulate thought. We examine the crucial role writers, painters, and other creators play in advancing the transition to a circular economy.

The circular economy offers a compelling business case for product redesign and new operating models. In a live conversation, members of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation team discussed its underlying values and relevant topics.
They explored how the circular economy differs from sustainability or "recycling on steroids," debating whether efficiency or effectiveness matters more, and if a top-down or bottom-up approach is better.
The broadcast featured four experts from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Watch the full discussion here: https://youtu.be/HtOV_tGBHz8.
While multinationals lead the circular economy shift, small businesses are crucial innovators. However, they face unique challenges like securing finance, partnering with larger entities, and integrating circular models into their strategy.
This broadcast features Natalia Agathou from the London Waste and Recycling Board (LWARB) and William Neale from the European Commission. Stuffstr CEO John Atcheson will also share how his business successfully collaborated with larger organizations to gain investment and form effective partnerships.
Technology has historically driven significant advancements in food production. The ongoing digital revolution now presents a wealth of new tools and opportunities.
The challenge lies in effectively leveraging these digital innovations to enhance our food system. Simultaneously, we must implement careful precautions to mitigate potential negative unintended consequences.
The European Union's push for a circular economy will significantly influence international trade. This raises key questions: Can global trade accelerate the circular economy's adoption worldwide? And are practices like remanufacturing currently hindered by market access issues?
To delve into these far-reaching implications, Jocelyn Bleriot, Executive Lead of International Institutions & Governments at the Foundation, and Marianne Kettunen, Head of Global Challenges and Sustainable Development Goals Programme at the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP), will lead a discussion. They will draw insights from the 2019 IEEP report.
