The evolution of the food redesign

This course tells the inspiring story of how the food industry can redesign itself to work in harmony with nature while still feeding a growing population. Instead of treating food production as a system of extraction and waste, it introduces a vision based on the principles of a circular economy—where every stage of the food chain, from farming to packaging, is regenerative and restorative. Learners will discover how current industrial practices damage soil, biodiversity, and climate, and why incremental fixes are not enough. Through case studies, data, and examples from around the world, the content highlights companies and innovators who are already pioneering sustainable approaches—such as using crops that restore soil health, designing food products with less waste, and creating packaging that can be reused or composted. More than just a critique, the course provides a hopeful roadmap for change. It shows how businesses, policymakers, and individuals can contribute to a “big food redesign” that nourishes both people and the planet. By the end, learners will gain a clear understanding of the systemic changes needed, practical solutions that are already working, and the mindset shift required to rethink the way we grow, produce, and consume food.
