The food industry significantly drives biodiversity loss and accounts for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. The Big Food Redesign Challenge envisions designing food systems that regenerate nature rather than harming it.

In a special episode of The Circular Economy Show, guest host Lucy Parker explores how learnings from the Challenge can create a food system better for people, nature, and climate. Featured speakers include Jonquil Hackenberg of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Wendy Schmidt of the [Schmidt Family Foundation](https://tsffoundation.org/) discussing philanthropy, and Michelin-starred chef Douglas McMaster of [Silo](https://www.silolondon.com/) on innovative approaches.

This episode features Joe Iles, Head of Design Activation at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, who delves into practical circular design. He explains it's not merely about durable products, but reflects the complex, interconnected systems of our world. Joe explores why innovative circular design ideas often struggle to scale.

He highlights crucial design competencies for transitioning to a circular model, including systems thinking, prototyping, and collaboration. These skills are essential for moving beyond buzzwords to effective implementation.

The textiles industry's linear "take-make-waste" model has a significant environmental impact. To counter this, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation proposes universal circular economy policy goals. A key objective is to "make the economics work," fostering circular business models (resale, rental, repair) through incentives and regulations to make them the norm.

An April 27th episode explored how policy can enable this transition in fashion and textiles. Experts from the European Commission, European Environment Agency, and Swedish EPA shared perspectives on increasing circular business model adoption.
