The circular economy is gaining significant momentum across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), with governments actively developing related policies. In response, eight institutions have launched the LAC Circular Economy Coalition to support countries and foster multi-stakeholder collaboration.

This episode features a discussion with strategic partners: Adriana Zacarias Farah (UNEP), Rose Mwebaza (CTCN), Luisa Santiago (Ellen MacArthur Foundation), and Rolando Castro (Vice Minister, MINAE, Costa Rica).

Food waste is a global problem. In 2017, Singapore alone discarded 810,000 tonnes, often perfectly edible but abnormally sized produce rejected by vendors. These valuable food resources could instead be collected and redistributed to those in need.

To combat this, Singaporean Daniel co-founded Sg Food Rescue. Featured by major media, his organization conducts "food rescue missions" by collecting unsellable produce from suppliers and distributing it to the needy, effectively addressing both waste and hunger.

This initiative was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Sustainable Development Goal 12 addresses responsible consumption and production. Current global practices, driven by overconsumption, significantly harm the planet and its natural resources.

To tackle major problems like climate change, waste, and pollution, the circular economy offers a solution. This approach rethinks how we design, make, and use everything, from food to clothing.

We partnered with Luisa Santiago from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a leader in circular economy development, to explore how businesses contribute to SDG 12.

Dr. Daniel Pauly highlights aquaculture's varied impact. Low-trophic species like bivalves (mussels, oysters) and seaweed offer sustainable options. But industrial salmon and other marine predator farming depend on wild fish feed. China's two-thirds share of global fish farming, especially carnivorous species, magnifies environmental impact.

To support sustainable seafood and ocean health, demand low-trophic aquaculture, stronger regulation of open-net pens, and true industry transparency.

Humanity's population has surged from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion today, now producing enough food for 10 billion. This prosperity, driven by agricultural and water revolutions, comes with significant environmental costs. Daniel assesses the critical food and water challenges of the coming century and explores opportunities for sustainable solutions.

A geochemist and lecturer at the University of Lincoln, Daniel researches the chemical interplay between humans and the environment. His work, published in international journals, investigates how earth's chemistry shapes human lives and how human actions impact nutrient and contaminant processes in soils, rivers, and groundwaters. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
