The Circular Economy and SDG 2: Zero Hunger – with Steve Butterworth, CEO, Neighbourly
Continuing our deep dive into the Circular Economy as an effective framework for achieving the UN Global Goals, we are focusing on the impact that businesses implementing circular and regenerative practices can have on SDG 2: Zero Hunger.
