00:00:00.625 --> 00:00:02.130 align:middle line:84%
It's estimated
that by 2050, there

00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:04.260 align:middle line:84%
will be approximately
9 billion people living

00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:06.780 align:middle line:84%
on Earth, with almost
70% of them projected

00:00:06.780 --> 00:00:08.970 align:middle line:90%
to live in urban areas.

00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:12.180 align:middle line:84%
As this population increases,
we will need three times more

00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:14.880 align:middle line:84%
resources to feed them
and this is a problem

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.030 align:middle line:84%
because a third of food produced
globally for human consumption

00:00:18.030 --> 00:00:20.640 align:middle line:84%
is lost or wasted
along the value chain.

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.550 align:middle line:84%
All of this highlights the
need for a circular alternative

00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:27.130 align:middle line:84%
to the linear take, make, and
dispose model of production.

00:00:27.130 --> 00:00:29.970 align:middle line:84%
However, only 8.6% of
the world can currently

00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:32.670 align:middle line:90%
be defined as circular.

00:00:32.670 --> 00:00:35.700 align:middle line:84%
This online course investigates
how we can design and build

00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:38.340 align:middle line:84%
circular food systems
that foster the transition

00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:40.320 align:middle line:90%
towards sustainable cities.

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.800 align:middle line:84%
We will explore novel circular
business models and new tools

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.830 align:middle line:84%
to foster circularity
of food in cities.

00:00:46.830 --> 00:00:48.690 align:middle line:84%
We will investigate
the catalytic role

00:00:48.690 --> 00:00:50.640 align:middle line:84%
of cities and
communities and how

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.060 align:middle line:84%
they can seize new opportunities
to drive the sustainability

00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:55.980 align:middle line:90%
of urban food systems.

00:00:55.980 --> 00:00:58.320 align:middle line:84%
Join us on circular
business models

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.250 align:middle line:84%
for sustainable
urban food systems.
