How upcycling and regenerative agriculture support circular economy [On-demand webinar]

The circular design of food makes it possible to transform our food system into one that is good for people, planet, and the prosperity of all stakeholders. During this on-demand webinar, our experts bring these principles alive and demonstrate their impact.

March 2, 2023

As The Ellen MacArthur Foundation in its ground-breaking report, “The Big Food Redesign: Regenerating Nature with the Circular Economy” so aptly asserts, the circular design of food makes it possible to transform our food system into one that is good for people, planet, and the prosperity of all stakeholders. The report creates a framework that combines food design with the principles of the circular economy.

Dan Kurzrock, Henrietta Goddard and Adele Jones will bring to life the impact of these principles and demonstrate how it makes sense for people and planet as well as business.
