Supermarkets, controlled by a few retailers, offer global food at low prices but contribute to consumer disconnection, overconsumption, and resource waste. This highlights critical issues in our food systems.

Dr. Emma Campbell, a Research Fellow at Queen's University Belfast, focuses on sustainable relationships between people, food, and place. She uses design and systems-thinking to address these complex problems.

Currently, Emma works on the Innovate UK-funded Ideal Home project with Moy Park. This initiative aims to redesign poultry infrastructure to boost productivity, enhance animal welfare, and achieve net-zero emissions by 2040. Her talk was given at a TEDx event.

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) offers a powerful solution to fuel the future, capable of replacing fossil fuels for industrial processes like steel and cement manufacturing, thereby reducing global carbon emissions. CSP systems use arrays of revolving mirrors (heliostats) to precisely reflect sunlight into a central receiver, generating immense heat.

Recent advancements in AI and machine learning are making CSP technology smarter, more efficient, and increasingly affordable. Innovators like Heliogen, backed by Bill Gates, leverage software to optimize mirror control, making solar energy cleaner and cheaper than fossil fuels. This progress paves the way for global adoption, as explored in the "Hard Reset" series.
