What is circular design for food, and how is it helping companies redesign food products for nature to thrive? Based on the report The big food redesign, the circular design for food framework is helping organisations around the world to make a nature-positive future a reality. Instead of bending nature to produce food, we can design our food for nature to thrive. This interactive workshop invites you to learn more about the positive outcomes of applying the circular design for food framework. Receive guidance from those already on the journey and learn how to apply their insights to your work.

Hosted in Messukeskus, Helsinki, the World Circular Economy Forum 2023 provided a unique opportunity to create momentum for a nature-positive future. From 30 May to 2 June, the WCEF2023 gathered together 1867 game-changers in Helsinki and more the 12 500 views online, from 155 countries.

The Forum presented a focused agenda and harnessed our collective energies on accelerating the needed transition over the coming years, showcasing global change makers and building the capacity to collaborate.

On the main Forum days 30 and 31 May, the plenaries explored cross-cutting themes for a diverse, global audience. They explained circularity’s role for the well-being of nature and the economy, youth’s role in the transition, circularity in financial markets, and future trends for a regenerative and resilient economy.

The parallel sessions brought the themes to life by sharing inspiring and scalable examples of the circular economy. These sessions covered a variety of topics, such as: finance, accounting and metrics, everyday life and health, future skills, regenerative agriculture and forestry, finite materials and energy, mining, trade, strategies and road maps, fashion and textiles, food, construction and the built environment, plastics and packaging, electronics and hydrogen.

On 1–2 June, altogether 40+ Accelerator Sessions organised by WCEF2023 Partners occurred across Helsinki and online. These sessions bridged the Forum’s themes with the daily work needed for a circular transition by focusing on the implementation of existing action agendas.
