While individual actions like composting are helpful, they are not the most effective ways to combat climate change. In this talk, youth climate activist Disha Ravi explains what *you* can do to prevent a climate apocalypse.

Ravi, a founder of Fridays for Future India, gained prominence after her arrest in the 'toolkit' case, where a social justice document was deemed seditious by the Indian government; she was later granted bail. She currently works as a culinary experience manager with GoodMylk, promoting accessible plant-based food.

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.

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

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.

Paul Slovic examines "psychic numbing," our tendency to ignore mass tragedies despite valuing individual lives. He explains that as numbers grow, we become desensitized, failing to act against catastrophic losses from poverty, disease, climate disasters, and violence. Understanding this cognitive bias is crucial for motivating effective responses.

Dr. Slovic, a professor of psychology at the University of Oregon and President of Decision Research (which he co-founded), is a leading expert in risk perception. His extensive work, including research on global threats, has earned him numerous accolades, such as election to the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
