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 food industry significantly contributes to biodiversity loss and a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. The Big Food Redesign Challenge envisions a food system designed to regenerate nature rather than harm it.

This episode of The Circular Economy Show, hosted by Lucy Parker, explores how learnings from the Challenge can create a food system better for people, nature, and climate. Guests include Jonquil Hackenberg of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Wendy Schmidt of [The Schmidt Family Foundation](https://tsffoundation.org/), and Michelin-starred chef Douglas McMaster of [Silo London](https://www.silolondon.com/).
