A global goal to end hunger by 2030
POPULARITY
Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, and Minister of State for International Development and Diaspora, Neale Richmond TD, today announced €2.2 million funding for research projects that seek to address the global issues of hunger and food insecurity. The Sustainable Development Goals Challenge is run in partnership with Irish Aid, and the six research projects receiving funding are focused on SDG 2: Zero Hunger. The research teams will develop a wide range of solutions that can contribute to ending hunger, achieving food security and promoting sustainable agriculture. €2.2 million research funding for Zero Hunger The projects include: Empowering women farmers in Malawi to overcome the unique barriers they face and breakdown gender inequities in agriculture. Leveraging and strengthening digital health systems in Uganda to tackle hunger, food access and malnutrition in vulnerable populations. Ensuring that women from marginalized communities in Sub-Saharan Africa can access nutrient-rich meals, improving maternal-child health outcomes through Mobile health (mHealth) interventions. Integrating indigenous knowledge with climate-smart agricultural technologies to build resilience in smallholder farming practices in Malawi. Using AI to help farmers in Vietnam achieve high rice yields while preserving soil and saving water in the context of environmental and climate pressures. Developing solar-powered crop processing machines for climate-resilient grain crops to decrease postharvest loss and increase productivity for smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe. Minister James Lawless said: "Today's funding announcement reinforces Ireland's commitment to implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. With over 700 million people continuing to face food insecurity and malnutrition globally, the research of these six teams can make a real and positive impact at an international level. As these projects progress through collaboration with researchers in Irish Aid partner countries, they will work directly with those most impacted by the challenges they are addressing, delivering tangible solutions to significant societal challenges. I wish the teams every success over the coming months." Minister Neale Richmond said: "Ireland is committed to creating a more equal and sustainable world. Investment in transforming global food systems is crucial to delivering on this commitment. Irish Aid's ongoing partnership with Research Ireland is an important driver of innovative and transformational change. With this Challenge focused on the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger, the projects funded today will help us combat chronic hunger, under-nutrition and gender inequality for food systems transformation." Celine Fitzgerald, Interim CEO, Research Ireland, said: "The SDG Challenge programme is an inspiring example of the power of international collaboration and strategic research funding. Challenge-based research funding encourages researchers to work directly with those most affected by the problems they seek to address and Research Ireland's collaboration with Irish Aid has enabled truly international research partnerships. Ireland has a whole-of-government approach to the implementation of the SDGs and the projects funded today are a leading example of this integrated commitment. I look forward to following the progress these teams make as they develop their research projects." The six projects represent international collaborations between research institutes in Ireland and in Irish Aid partner countries - in this case, South Africa, Malawi, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. The research teams funded today will have the opportunity to compete for an overall prize fund of €1 million for the most competitive team as part of this challenge-based funding programme. The SDG Challenge Programme is a partnership between Research Ireland and Irish Aid (Department of Foreign Affairs), whose purpos...
Tracy talks with Emily Broad-Lieb, Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic, diving into the game-changing Food Donation Improvement Act (FDIA). Many of us as planners hear “we can't donate the food” or “we'll be sued” from venues, but this new legislation signed into law in January 2023 breaks down those barriers by providing crucial protections, empowering event planners, hotels, and venues to safely reduce food waste. Emily will share insights on navigating food donations, understanding liability protections, and implementing sustainable practices in events. From real-life examples of successful donation programs to her expertise on food waste policy, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to make their events more responsible and inclusive.

Graphic designer Jakob Trollbäck remembers a 2014 meeting with film director Richard Curtis and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, then very much a work in progress, coming up in conversation.Curtis, whose movies include Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Love Actually and the Bridget Jones series, is also a UN Advocate for the SDGs. The meeting in Trollbäck's New York studio suddenly turned to the 17 goals, with Curtis telling him: “I think this may be our last shot of fixing a lot of the things that's wrong with the planet. And I also think that these goals are going to fail if we can't make them popular. Do you want to help me?”Trollbäck, founder of The New Division agency, rose to the challenge. Over the course of a year, alongside designer colleague Christina Rüegg-Grässli, he designed the now famous multi-colour palette, individual icons and logo of the SDGs.Their design had to tick three boxes: be accessible, universal and positive. The interconnectedness of the goals leant itself to the overall circular logo type, and the bright colours were key to making the framework interesting and likeable.Some icons were almost instantaneous in their creation — such as the fish that represents SDG 14: Life Below Water — while others needed collaboration with the UN communications team colleagues to get right.For example, Trollbäck remembers SDG 2: Zero Hunger; the initial design had a fork in it, until someone pointed out that two thirds of the of the world's population don't use forks.The World Economic Forum say 74% of the adults globally are aware of the SDGs.This is the final episode of How to Save Humanity in 17 Goals, a Working Scientist podcast series that profiles scientists whose work addresses one or more of the SDGs. Episodes 13–18 are produced in partnership with Nature Sustainability, and introduced by Monica Contestabile, its chief editor. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This month, we're revisiting past episodes of The 17 podcast to give you the essentials on two crucial SDGs - Climate Action and Zero Hunger.In Episode 7, Kate Hutchinson spoke to climate activist Clover Hogan and Areeba Hamid from Greenpeace to discuss SDG 13 - Climate Action. What's the current climate crisis situation? Are governments and big business doing enough to improve things? What can we do as individuals? What climate action is necessary?In Episode 8, Lella Halloum spoke to youth parliament member and food poverty campaigner Dev Sharma about SDG 2 - Zero Hunger. Why are young people like Dev and Lella so concerned about the current nutritional situation both here in the UK and around the world? Were things different in the past and do we need to look backward in history for lessons that can help us build a better food future and achieve zero hunger? The 17 is a podcast themed around the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. A new episode is published on the 17th of each month, and explores a different one of the 17 goals in detail. The UN SDGs represent an all-encompassing plan to protect the future of our planet, it is our responsibility to know what they are, understand them, and make sure that we are doing our bit to help.Help us grow this podcast.

SPECIAL EVENT From Commitments to Impact: Analyzing the Global Commitments Toward Promoting Food Security and Healthy Diets Co-organized by IFPRI and The Rockefeller Foundation FEB 6, 2024 - 9:00 TO 10:30AM EST Since the mid-2010s, progress in reducing food insecurity and improving diet quality has stalled. Multiple shocks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, have exacerbated the situation and put Sustainable Development Goal 2 on Zero Hunger further out of reach. There have been many calls for action to address the food and diets crisis facing vulnerable people around the world. The private sector has been called on to invest in transforming food systems—at an annual rate of $320 billion—while the development banks have been asked to align financial incentives with food system-related goals. While some of these actors have stepped up, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) opening of a food shock window to channel funds to countries beset by crisis, ultimately, progress depends on governments. National governments are responsible, and can be held accountable, for ensuring food security; healthy, diverse diets; and stable, dignified livelihoods, for their populations. Since the SDGs were announced in 2015, governments in both high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries have made commitments to actions to address food insecurity and poor diets by 2030, including at the UN General Assembly, the World Health Assembly, the G-20, and the UN Food Systems Summit. What remains uncertain at this midway point is which commitments and actions are most salient, whether and how much global and linked national commitments are both fit-for-purpose and fit for the future, and to what extent these commitments have the potential to address known challenges to achieving SDG goals on food security and healthy diets. This seminar will shed light on commitments already made, share research results on the potential of current commitments to achieve a focused set of food and nutrition security goals, and foster continued dialogue with global advocacy partners. A brunch reception will follow the presentations.

Explore the incredible benefits of algae with Catharine Arnston. First, you need to know that it's not a supplement, but a true superfood. This episode focuses on two remarkable algae varieties: spirulina, a vibrant blue-green algae packed with collagen, B vitamins, and essential amino acids, and chlorella, another green gem with unique properties. Discover the differences between these algae powerhouses, when and how to incorporate them into your daily routine, and the science behind their health-boosting effects.Prepare to also dive into the intricate world of enzymes, including superoxide dismutase and ficocyanin, as we explore their role in reducing angiogenesis in cancer cells and enhancing immunity against viral infections, including a certain well-known virus we've all heard about in recent years.Our discussion doesn't stop there. Dr. Stephanie and Catharine explore the myriad applications of algae, from helping children with autism to supporting the demanding lifestyles of athletes and individuals like Dr. Stephanie, a 45-year-old woman dedicated to weight training and cardio.This episode offers a deep, scientifically rich conversation that promises to captivate your inner nerd.Bio:Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking).As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, and 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient-dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the world's most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born.Links for this episode:EnergyBits.com/better and use code BETTER for 20% off anything on the websiteSpirulina in Clinical Practice: Evidence-Based Human Applications - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136577/A deep dive into Zero Hunger: the seaweed revolution - https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/11/1077212Phycocyanin: A Potential Drug for Cancer Treatment - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5687155/C-Phycocyanin exerts anti-cancer effects via the MAPK signaling pathway in MDA-MB-231 cells - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5785878/NAC, Spirulina, Other Nutraceuticals May Play Role On Coronavirus Treatment - https://scienceblog.com/514404/nac-spirulina-other-nutraceuticals-may-play-role-on-coronavirus-treatment/Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Aging Evaluation of Pigment-Protein Complex Extracted from Chlorella Pyrenoidosa - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31623220/Studies on the biosorption of heavy metals onto Chlorella vulgaris - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10934529409376043Chlorella vulgaris functional alcoholic beverage: Effect on propagation of cortical spreading depression and functional properties - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34370788/Algae Protects Mitochondria Health With Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)Algae Tablets for Brain HealthBrain Health with AlgaeCancer Free with AlgaeEpisode Overview:0:04:50 Understanding Algae: Macroalgae vs. Microalgae0:09:10 Introduction to Spirulina and Chlorella0:11:35 The Power of Vegetables and Proper Supplementation0:21:06 Mechanism of Action: Phycocyanin and Cancer Cell Destruction0:30:51 Spirulina: The Ultimate Calorie-Conscious Superfood0:41:15 Collagen and its Role in Muscle Growth0:50:41 Spirulina and Chlorella for Detox and Wellness Benefits0:53:37 Spirulina and Chlorella for Improving Brain Function in Autistic Children0:57:09 Spirulina and Chlorella as Food for Athletes, Providing Focus and Energy1:00:06 Try Taking 30 EnergyBits Before Your Next WorkoutWe'd like to thank our sponsors:LEVELSLevels helps you see how food affects your health by giving you real-time feedback on your diet using a continuous glucose monitor.

Limiting Water to SDG 6 is restrictive. When the united nations defined its Agenda 2030 and split it down into 17 sustainable development goals, they parked "everything water" into number 6. But isn't water crucial to attaining a bunch of further goals? Isn't the lack of water a clear inhibitor to running any kind of business, hence the main obstacle to SDG 1, which is supposed to end poverty? How can you achieve Zero Hunger, aka SDG 2, if you don't have water for agriculture? How do you fulfill SDG 3 and its Good Health Target if you don't have safe water to eliminate the yearly 700'000 cases of child death by diarrhea? Can you pretend your city is sustainable according to SDG 11 if it doesn't prevent floods? Will any consumption or production be sustainable - SDG 12 - if it doesn't consider its water impacts? And finally, when we say that if climate change is a shark, water is its teeth through floods and droughts, SDG 13 and its Climate Action clearly sounds like a Water Topic. So, limiting Water to SDG6 is restrictive!
In the second episode of our series on SDGs, Simon, Andre and Erin invited Prabhakar SVRK, who knows a lot about climate adaptation, food and agriculture. Focusing on SDG2 on Zero Hunger, we talked about the challenges to achieve a world free from hunger while trying to reduce fossil fuel use to limit climate change, given the significant fossil fuel-based inputs in our current food system. It seems the world is producing enough food or has potential to do so, but that distribution, access and sustainability of production remain a problem. In this episode, we covered the world's progress on SDG2; why we can't solve this fundamental problem; the issue of production vs. access to food; extensive vs. intensive agriculture; globalized food supply chains; the role of innovation; food loss and food waste, and more.Related linksSDG2 Progress, Targets, and IndicatorsPrabhakar's slides on SDG2 About our guest:Sivapuram Ventaka Rama Krishna Prabhakar (referred to as “Prabhakar” in the episode) is a Principal Policy Researcher in the Adaptation and Water unit at IGES.

At least one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN will be missed in 2030 – SDG 2 – 'zero hunger'. Hunger and malnutrition are rising dramatically across the world, a trend aggravated by the pandemic. In 2020, 811 million people in the world were facing hunger, the highest level since 2014. In the EU itself, considered one of the most food-secure regions in the world, nearly 7 million people were already experiencing severe food insecurity before the pandemic, and malnutrition is on the rise. SDG 2 aims not only at achieving food security but also at improving nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture. These objectives have been mainstreamed in the recently reformed common agricultural policy and the 'farm to fork' and biodiversity strategies. - Original publication on the EP Think Tank website - Subscription to our RSS feed in case your have your own RSS reader - Podcast available on Deezer, iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher, YouTubeSource: © European Union - EP

I've just taken a big swig of coffee and very nearly spilt it. So that was probably a bad thing to do immediate before recording one of these. I'm here today with Sean Young Sean runs a sustainable business coaching business, which we're going to get into in a little while. Shawn, welcome to the podcast. Oh, you're looking forward to this? Yeah, thank you. It's no problems. So Shawn, just just in a few short words, who were who were the people you're trying to help? Well, the people I'm helping our ethical business women, basically small businesses, entrepreneurial females who are killing it out there in business. And what's the problem that those ethical business women face that they try to solve without any help? And you've seen them make those, those those errors, which they're sort of not quite nailing?Sian Young 01:26Well, the problem is the need to prove that they are operating in a sustainable way, especially in today's market. It's like 300. What's it 330% of customers, increasing customers looking for sustainable proof you as a business owner, and it's just like hit businesses. It shouldn't have hit businesses, because sustainability issues have been going on a long time. But small businesses have kind of been out of the loop for so long. It's all been big, high strategy, corporate stuff. And now, like, where do you start? I am I done a survey recently of over 70 Female business owners and overwhelm, and then overwhelming to apathy. And not knowing what would be the best place to start is a major problem for them proving that they are sustainable.Stuart Webb 02:21I love the fact that you've done a survey, that's really good news, because too many people do this by gut feel you've actually got some some actual hard evidence that this is a, this is something that is a problem and needs solving. Yeah, it's not just that I done that survey that I've completed. But I'm also co founder of the Centre for Sustainable action. And we done a survey with American Society for Quality. And this survey as well showed that less than 3% of business owners have a sustainable strategy. Like, and like you said, like, it's hard evidence that I work from is research that I work from. So I'm not just coming up with all these fantastical ideas and saying, let's do it. This is this is real research now and other research I've done as well shows that if you can prove you're sustainable, you can reduce your costs by being sustainable, which we can go into further.Sian Young 03:23I've saved 21,000 pounds a year, no, in three years by living sustainably, and you can save costs in business by running sustainably, you can attract more loyal customers. And you can also interact green investment because there is a lot of money being put into green investment now and I don't want the female business owners that I know run ethically minded businesses to miss out on all that funding and all that opportunity. So that's why I'm doing what I do. That's really good evidence. You can give us some more of that that information about how you save that money. I think that would be something of great interest to to the audience. So what do you see in business that's helped save money by operating sustainably? Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something, right. And you're gonna be like, Oh my god, that is so simple. Like, why didn't I think of it? Like some of the things are very simple like a water a hippo? Have you heard of water hippo?Stuart Webb 04:24I have. I have.Sian Young 04:26Yeah, so a water hippo in your system reduces the amount of water that you use by 30%. And that reduces your water bill. That's one quick, easy win thatStuart Webb 04:39do you just want to explain what a water hippo is for anybody who doesn't know what they are? Yeah,Sian Young 04:43a water hippo is. It's a bag basically essentially a bag. In the olden days we used to just put a brick in a plastic bag in the toilet. It's you put it in the system where you flush and it displaces a lot of the water. That means when the water fills up again It doesn't use as much for each flush. So imagine if you have a small business and you have small offices, and you multiply that effect. I mean, that statistic I said was one toilet if you're working from home. But if you have a small office, and you do that in every system, you've saved a lot of money by the end of the year. And then there's simple things like switching out your, your light bulbs to all energy saving ones, I'm sure we've heard of this one. But this one actually is a big win and saving money on your electricity costs.Stuart Webb 05:34That's brilliant stuff. I love it that you've already given us two valuable free resources that we can sort of were two valuable free actions that we can all take. Is there more at your website, and I'm just going to put the website across at the moment at the bottom of the screen for people that want to see it. And this will be in the show notes as well. But there's there's some stuff here at Sean's website, which chart please tell us what's there?Sian Young 05:57Well, that is actually my landing page. Because what I have is, I have a workshop that I do that's 90 minutes. And if you're questioning, like how valuable is it for me to put business resources and time into proving I'm sustainable and being sustainable, because most business owners are like, well, I don't print much. So I'm fine, especially small businesses, then this is a workshop that you can come and do with me, where you'll not only learn why you'll learn the value in it, you'll also learn steps to move forward into it. And also, you can get your first ESG policy done, because I have a template there for you. And by coming into my ecosystem system and joining me, I also have an awesome links page that I send out. And that has discounts. I mentioned earlier where you mentioned earlier about fun. Like, it's gotta be fun doing this, it's got to be fun, because we got so much hard work to do. So I also have sustainable products. discounts off of that I have freebies, I have eco journey to go on. There's just so much. So this is a starting point, if you come along there and join us.Stuart Webb 07:13Terrific. Love it very much. So has there been a particular book or programme that's really inspired you on this sustainable journey?Sian Young 07:22There has been an inspiration to me. And there's only recently I realised how long in 2005, I joined over 200,000 people in Edinburgh, to hold hands around the city of Edinburgh, to protest to end poverty. And end poverty is SDG. Number one, that sustainable development goals. Right, the UN have Sustainable Development Goals, which were agreed by multiple countries as a underpinning way that we could all come together collectively, and solve some of the major issues on our planet today. And number 17 is partnerships. So I'm always open to partnerships and collaboration towards this aim. But the SDG goals, they inspire me, because if we all just looked at that, and we all started operating under that we would move faster forward in our climate crisis. So yeah, that that has inspired me and it inspired my husband and I to create an online tool for small businesses to to start that journey into SDGs. And get get us all together.Stuart Webb 08:36I keep a postcard of the sustainable development goals on my desk. Actually, it was getting to the I know their top, top top top like they get no. No poverty. That's that's number one. Number two being Zero Hunger, which I think two really important goals. But yeah, that's that's on my desk to remind me constantly to be striving towards those 17 goals myself. SoSian Young 09:00yeah. And I find small businesses are so in silos, you know, and that's why my husband and I co founded the Centre for Sustainable action, which is a cooperative for small businesses. Because we realised that while we're in silos, we were not having access to all that green funding that's out there. We're not collaborating together to one one SDG aim. And so that's what my work is all about. It's all about bringing ethical business women into a way where we're all collaborating together for the good of people planet and profit, basically.Stuart Webb 09:38I love it. I love it. So there must be a question right at the moment, you're thinking, Well, I wish he'd asked such and such or why hasn't he so far asked me this question. So what is that question, Shawn, that you wish that I had asked? And I'll give us the answer, please.Sian Young 09:55So it's, it's about what tools to use and where to start. So basically, starting is the first step, right. And that's why I've created an eco curious journey. Because like I said, it's gonna be fun. And this journey is a chance to earn awards and badges and discounts and prizes, and do activities, all towards a sustainable lifestyle and business. And one of the tools we use is the SDG assessment tool, which is our online app is on Android. And that helps you, I help you go on a journey. And so if you want to start the journey, and I know from the research, so many people are in overwhelm, and that means they're in apathy, and they're not taking the first step. So I'm saying to you, take the first step with sustainable success coach or with my network in my cooperative as well. Just take the first step, and we'll make it a fun journey towards getting these STG goals completed, together collaboratively for the good of us all.Stuart Webb 11:05Terrific. Love it very much. Love it. Shawn, it's been wonderful having you on the on the it's not rocket science, five questions over coffee this morning. I really appreciate everything you're doing.

SDG 2: Zero Hunger. Zvilo will focus on supporting agricultural SMEs, ensuring that at least 20% of funding will be towards sustainable agriculture to increase resource efficiency through developing and upgrading the agro-business value chain. SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being. Zvilo will support food security and safety by ensuring that at least 20% of funding goes towards ISO-certified SMEs. SDG 5: Gender Equality. Zvilo will promote gender equality with a specific goal to support at least 20% of female-owned and managed enterprises. SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy.

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure. Zvilo will contribute to the innovation of payment and financial systems and promote sustainable industrialisation, resulting in over 10,000 SMEs and 1 million individuals using digital wallets.

Ever been hungry, or even "hangry"? We've all been there before. But there's a big difference between missing a meal and simply not having access to healthy foods. Food deserts are prevalent in many communities around the world and food insecurity is a major concern. Today's episode on UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #2 "Zero Hunger" and unequal access to healthy food is hosted by CEP's Youth Ambassador extraordinaire Kyia, and is co-hosted by youth advocates Don, Kayla, and Zion of The Youth Food Security Network, a youth-led organization via HeartSmiles MD that fights to ensure that everyone in Baltimore City has access to healthy and nutritious food. They work on numerous projects, such as their youth food pantry, and partner with organizations that have similar aspirations.
“Every act of eating involves some element of choice.” Every day people around the world go to the store to purchase food and then sit down to a meal with their families. The meal may include bread made with wheat from Peru, salad with lettuce from California, and beef from Australia. All of these products end up on our plates through a vast interconnected global supply chain. While the supply chain creates a large number of food choices in wealthier countries, it does not always produce more nutritious food or get food to those in dire need. In Episode 6 of Better Food. Better World., Elizabeth Nyamayaro is joined by WFP Director of Supply Chain Operations Division, Alex Marinelli, food journalist Mark Bittman, Purnima Menon of IFPRI-New Delhi, and Yemeni Food Science & Nutrition Advocate, Esra Shaiban. They explore the supply chain's connection to our food systems, look at who is affected by poor nutrition, and share what we can do to improve the quality of the food we consume. Elizabeth and her guests understand the heavy burden our world is facing and believe that we can choose to do food better. Key Moments: 1:25 - In the introduction, Elizabeth asks everyday people from privileged parts of the world about their relationship to food. 2:27 - Alex Marinelli explains how the supply chain links to our food systems. 8:00 - Elizabeth continues to talk with people on the street about what food is for. 8:32 - Mark Bittman discusses how despite appearing broken, our food systems benefit corporate interests. 12:14 - Elizabeth shares more from her interviews with people on the street reminiscing about food during their childhood. 13:34 - Purnima Menon centers food systems on people, especially the people most affected by poor diets — women and children. 22:25 - More voices from the street describing how they decide to eat. 23:20 - Esra Shaiban shares how we can improve the quality of food and add nutrition. 29:37 - Esra Shaiban, Alex Marinelli, and Elizabeth share their wishes for a world with better food.

Following her determination for achieving responsible consumption and production, design and sustainability pioneer Marie Cudennec co-founded Goldfinger Design. This award-winning social enterprise proves that high-end design can and should be positive for the planet and people. Marie's fascinating journey began in rural Hong Kong. Surrounded by waste and pollution, she first realised her passion for nature and the importance of protecting it. Marie combined the principles and practices garnered from her time at Harvard Business School with her deep passion for sustainability and created Goldfinger. In 2020, Marie was awarded the NatWest Everywoman Award in recognition of her positive impact on her industry and community, and her passion and vision for sustainable business are inspiring to behold. Goldfinger offers bespoke, sustainable furniture as well as the Goldfinger Acadamy, which provides marginalised young minds the opportunity to learn business skills and the art of woodcraft to protect our earth. Goldfinger also fights food waste and social isolation in collaboration with People's Kitchen, where three Sundays a month, they cook and deliver meals to vulnerable residents in the local community. In this episode, we talk about Marie's inspiring journey leading her to establish Goldfinger and Marie's personal practices enabling her to live consciously and healthily. We also discuss why sustainability is so important, not only from an environmental perspective but a social one too, as well as the variety of products that Goldfinger has to offer, the positive impact they have on their local community and much more!
