The circular economy is a new way to design, produce, and consume within the context of finite resources Circular Economy: Evidence shows that the world’s current production patterns are unsustainable. Humanity must stop overexploiting natural resources to create manufactured goods that eventually end up in a landfill, putting an enormous toll on our planet. There has to be a fundamental shift in how we produce and consume. The circular economy is a new way to design, produce, and consume within the context of finite resources. Under this model, products and materials are used for as long as possible. The circular economy promotes the use of renewable energy, eliminates the use of toxic chemicals, and aims to eliminate waste through the superior design of materials, products, systems, and business models. Disruptive Technologies for Agriculture: Agriculture and food transformation are key to reducing poverty, improving livelihoods, creating better health and environmental outcomes. Food production and trade processes from farm to fork are incredibly complex and face great challenges. Although food availability is high, and yields have managed to keep up with population growth, business as usual, is not working for farmers, many of whom struggle with poverty. Poor nutrition is a leading cause of disease and premature death and slows human development, and agriculture is a major contributor to various forms of pollution and environmental degradation. Digital technologies can accelerate the transformation of farms and the broader food system for better outcomes. This Bite+ will focus on the role of the public sector in the digital acceleration of the agricultural and food transformation. Complete the Bite+ to learn about tangible examples and innovative approaches to achieve inclusive green growth. Technical experts from Korea present on how they are leveraging knowledge and innovative technology to improve the environmental and agricultural sectors.
