What does “circular economy” mean? The term often shows up in business and economics contexts, but it also includes cultural beliefs and practices that promote sharing, repairing, and reusing over wasting. To successfully achieve a circular economy, efforts to reduce waste and climate impacts must be paired with goals to improve quality of life for all. In addition to exploring different visions of a circular economy, this presentation includes case studies examining policy and tactical interventions promoting food recovery efforts and their uneven impacts on local communities.
