RE:thinking Food

It has been estimated by UNFAO that food is responsible for one third of all global emissions. Our current linear food system is causing damage from farm to fork – but there is another way forward.

The good news is that food can be part of the solution to the climate crisis. Regenerative farming practices allow us to produce food at the same time as regenerating ecosystems and removing carbon, and innovations are being devised to tackle the issue of food waste across the value chain.

Discover insights from the industry leaders, experts, businesses and producers redesigning our food systems from the ground up.

Repackaging Food Waste

With their vantage point between producer and consumer, retailers are uniquely placed to address food waste. Can they also go one step further and turn this issue into an opportunity? Watch our extended interview with Ben Thomas from Waitrose to find out.

The Circular Food Economy

Our current food system perpetuates waste from farm to fork. Can we redesign it using the principles of a circular economy? Watch our interview with Reniera O'Donnell from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to find out.

The Big Food Redesign

The Big Food Redesign reimagines a food system that is pro-nature and inherently low waste, two key components of a circular economy. This 2021 report makes the case for a circular food system by illustrating the environmental, economic, and yield benefits that outweigh those achieved by better sourcing alone.

Feeding Our Growing Population

Food is responsible for a third of all global emissions, but Regenerative Agriculture offers a way of reducing emissions from our food system at the same time as regenerating ecosystems and removing carbon. 

Decarbonizing Hotel Food Systems

World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, Sustainable Markets Initiative and Iberostar Hotels & Resorts explore how hotels can become more sustainable and resilient by reducing their food-related emissions, which are estimated at 185 million tonnes of CO2-eq globally.
