Food, Climate and the Pandemic

REGENERATIVE LEADERSHIP

Season 1, Ep. 5
•

During this series we have explored different aspects of our food industry and its web of largely destructive systems which are being scrutinised in the face of Climate Change and human health crisis like the Covid-19 pandemic. Our current operating systems are degenerative, destructive, extractive, wasteful, risky and fragile while regenerative systems promote connection, creativity, diversity, balance and resilience. In other words, we need transformational systems change. 

All of our podcast guests have shared hope for a continued awakening of corporate consciousness.  

With some great visionaries, we have discussed how to plan and navigate the future that want to see and what became apparent was the need for transformative change. It’s obvious to us that the conditioning and the mindset which has created the problem will not be able to provide the solution, so how do we go about this? 


How do we become leaders of regeneration?

  • 4. CIRCULAR SYSTEMS

     39:37
    The global pandemic has arguably created a new consciousness about our consumption habits, in particular about how we are sourcing food and the mountain of packaging that comes with it. Households are at home for weeks literally following the accumulation of waste both food and packaging. The importance of reusing and recycling materials has never been more evident and may energise efforts around waste management and new business models that prevent waste in the first place. Presented by: Erik Bruun Bindslev & Elizabeth CandelarioGuests: Zem Joaquin & Philippe-Loic Jacob

  • HOW CAN WE USE THE PANDEMIC MODEL FOR GOOD?

     26:09
    In a time of unprecedented disruption to the usual dynamic of living and working, where time allows for reflection, contemplation and connection, we are even more fervently questioning the unsustainable growth model that has, until now, been driving the world. This new global paradigm has in many ways forced to re-purpose ourselves and our activities. This episode touches on our collective grief and its power to shape a more inclusive food system leading with heart and purpose.Presented by: Erik Bruun Bindslev, Elizabeth CandelarioGuests: Silja Nyboe Andersen, Seleyn DeYarus

  • 2. AGRICULTURE & FOOD PRODUCTION

     29:45
    Food security has suddenly moved up on the agenda of the more affluent countries where COVID-19 is disrupting the supply chain and there is palpable fear of a looming food crisis. Eliminating food deserts and supporting local food sheds, reducing food waste, resolving logistics complexities and bottlenecks, providing financial support to farmers, and building resilience in our food system have suddenly taken on a new importance, yet these are the same goals that the regenerative farming and food movement have been emphasising for years. How do we connect the lessons learned from COVID-19 to the future of food and agriculture that guarantees a more regenerative model?Presented by: Erik Bruun Bindslev & Elizabeth CandelarioGuests: Daniella Ibarra-Howell, Ann Thrupp and Thomas Harttung

  • 1. BRANDS

     31:26
    Prior to COVID-19 the life of brands and brand management was already undergoing dramatic change.While the number of innovative new brands in the marketplace struggle for distribution, the established brands have suffered years of declining relevance to a new generation of consumers.Disruption of the traditional brand model combined with changing consumer needs, has brought with it a wave of new strategic thinking. The pandemic will further challenge brands to understand their consumer and to speak to them in new and authentic ways, that reflect an awareness of larger societal values and concerns. Presented by: Erik Bruun Bindslev & Elizabeth CandelarioGuests: Ben Arbib and Simon Coley

  • 3. FINANCIAL SYSTEMS

     44:53
    The fact that a Chinese food (wet) market was the likely primary source for spreading the Covid-19 virus, subsequently bringing the entire financial system to its knees, underpins just how vulnerable the financial system is and how the food system forms the basis for our existence. Despite the fact that we are experiencing a great momentum towards sustainable food consumption, the financial system is still backing and financing majorly unsustainable food ecosystems. Presented by: Erik Bruun Bindslev, Elizabeth CandelarioGuests: Robyn O'Brian, Ali Morrow, Silja Nyboe Andersen
