It is based on three principles, driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and regenerate nature. can make to halting and reversing biodiversity loss.

Regenerating nature by redesigning food systems
The current food sector is the principal driver of global biodiversity loss and a major contributor to climate change. A circular economy for food offers the opportunity to ensure that, through food redesign, the sector can help nature and people thrive.
By designing food product portfolios that are regeneratively produced, make use of diverse, low-impact ingredients and crops, eliminate waste, and harness all the nutritional value of what is grown, the sector can create a food system that enhances the livelihoods of present and future farmers, and has a positive impact on nature.
