Thriving: The Breakthrough Movement
Join me, Prof Wayne Visser, for inspiring conversations with leaders in the breakthrough movement to regenerate nature, society and the economy. Thriving is about going beyond sustainability to a net positive agenda of innovation and regeneration. Each episode is a dialogue with thought leaders and pioneering practitioners, capturing their perspective on the six great transitions to thriving: how to go from degradation to restoration of ecosystems, from depletion to renewal of resources, from disparity to responsibility in communities and workplaces, from disease to revitalisation of health, from disconnection to rewiring through technology, and from disruption to resilience in infrastructure and institutions. We also explore what kind of leadership are needed to create a thriving future, and how organisations can take action to integrate thriving into their strategies, products and services. This is not about false hope or blind optimism, but we actively focus on innovative solutions and positive tipping points for change. The podcast builds on the foundations of my bestselling book "Thriving: The Breakthrough Movement to Regenerate Nature, Society and the Economy." I look forward to having you join the movement for thriving and welcome your suggestions for who I should feature as invited guests on the podcast. Credits: Host: Wayne Visser.

My guest week is Claudia Lee, a journalist and podcaster on sustainable food systems. In this episode, she talks about:
- How the food system needs to navigate the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, plastic and chemical pollution and food security
- Why tackling food waste is critical, with pioneering cases like Rice Inc in China; I also share my revolutionary idea to radically cut restaurant and hotel food waste
- The health benefits of plant-based diets and the environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture and cultivated (or cultured) meat
- The role of technology in making agriculture more sustainable, including indoor farming, precision agriculture and agro-bots
- Why genetically modified organisms (GMOs) may not all be bad and how they should be judged on their impacts
