Join us as we explore the lives of small-scale fishers in South Africa. Episode 1 visits Arniston, home to ancient Khoi and San fish traps, featuring an interview with fisherwoman Rowina Europa. We then journey to Gordons Bay to hear from local fisherfolk about climate change's impact on their livelihoods.

This episode is produced by Shaldon Ferris (Khoisan), with interviews including Nico Fredericks, Ellen Mandelozi, and 'Lulu'. Music credits feature saxophone by Tyso, "Natasha" by The Hot Shots, and "Burn your village to the ground" by The Halluci Nation.

Nearly 800 million people lack sufficient food, and two billion suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. As the global population grows, food production must dramatically increase. Our oceans offer a powerful solution: by restoring them, we can feed the world.

Fish are a "perfect protein"—nutritious, inexpensive to produce, and require no farmland or freshwater. A fully restored ocean could sustainably provide a healthy fish meal daily for over one billion people. We can achieve this by implementing three basic steps in just 25 countries: managing catch and protecting vital habitats.

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.

Explore alternative economic thinking with Kate Raworth, author of "Doughnut Economics: 7 ways to think like a 21st century economist." She will discuss how this framework shapes circular economy policies and business practices at city level, exemplified by Amsterdam's recent implementation. Countries and cities globally are adopting these strategies to balance people’s wellbeing with planetary boundaries for a thriving economy.

Powered by Restream, this episode explores how design drives systemic change towards a circular economy. Hear from Malin Nordin (Inter IKEA Group) on scaling circular design for affordable, quality furniture, challenging the perception that 'affordable' means cheap. We also feature Emily Pilloton (Girls Garage) discussing inclusive design, economic development, and community empowerment.

The circular economy is gaining traction in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), prompting eight institutions to launch the LAC Circular Economy Coalition. This initiative supports countries and fosters multi-stakeholder collaboration.

A recent panel discussion, streamed live on February 16th, featured coalition representatives including Adriana Zacarias Farah (UNEP), Rose Mwebaza (CTCN), Luisa Santiago (Ellen MacArthur Foundation), and Rolando Castro (MINAE Costa Rica).

Over 80% of textiles are discarded globally. A circular economy, driven by Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), offers a vital solution. Mandatory, fee-based EPR policies hold producers

Over 80% of textiles are discarded globally. A circular economy, driven by Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), offers a vital solution. Mandatory, fee-based EPR policies hold producers accountable for collecting, sorting, and recirculating their products, fostering transparency and attracting investment for large-scale reuse and recycling infrastructure.

The latest Circular Economy Show episode explores global challenges and opportunities in textile EPR with experts like Matteo Magnani, co-author of "Pushing the boundaries of EPR policy for textiles."
