In episode 2 ‘Old Ideas with Modern Thinking’, we’re introduced to The Wild Hare Group, Porcus and Aqüitas Divina, who are all working on mixing old ideas with modern thinking. In the process, they’re trying to change the way we do business, shifting old linear models into more circular ones.

• Carlos Manzano, Co-Founder of Agüita is revisiting old methods of Tequila production when producing Pulque, a Tequila alternative, to ensure that waste is reduced at every step

• Darren, Nat & SJ at Porcus are battling public perception by jarring their meat-based products to ensure they stay on the shelves for longer.

• Dominie, Founder at The Wild Hare Group is utilising a traditional farming system that not only leads to better soil health, but provides healthier cattle.

• We also have an update from Spoon Cereals, who are rethinking their product recipe.

The Big Food Redesign Challenge, in partnership with the Sustainable Food Trust and funded by People’s Postcode Lottery, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and Schmidt Family Foundation, brings together ambitious producers, retailers, start-ups, and suppliers to design new food products – or redesign existing ones – to regenerate nature. Currently in the Production Phase, participants are working hard to turn their product designs into a reality. Follow the journey and find out more.
