The Oxford Farming Conference

Navigating towards a nature positive food system.

Dame Ellen MacArthur

Dame Ellen MacArthur joined OFC Co-Chair Sarah Mukherjee MBE to talk about her journey from world-class sailor, to the founding of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and its mission to accelerate the transition to a circular economy designed to eliminate waste, circulate products and materials, and regenerate nature.

In 2021, the Foundation launched the Big Food Redesign which looks at how food brands and retailers can make nature-positive food the norm. It sets out how, by rethinking the ingredients they use and how they're produced, they can provide choices that are better for customers, better for farmers, and better for the climate and biodiversity
