| description | <p id="p1">In order to limit the consumption of natural resources without compromising economic growth, new economic models of production have been offered under the 12th Sustainable Development Goal “Responsible Consumption and Production” of the United Nations, which implies that, in addition to food losses, attention should be paid to the use and production of non-renewable resources and energy sources during the manufacturing and processing of food. In the agriculture and food sector, the circular economy is a paradigm that maximizes value from resources while minimizing waste by keeping them in use for as long as feasible. This strategy seeks to ensure that inputs and outputs are managed sustainably by closing the loop in food systems and agricultural production. Agriculture significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions. Employing bioenergy in the agro-industrial sector can benefit from circular economy principles. Global initiatives have taken action to address the situation, even though only around 9% of the world’s economy is circular. The circular economy (grow-make-use-restore) seeks to affect material and energy flows to enhance environmental benefits and minimize expenses, in contrast to the linear economy (take-make-use-dispose). In food systems, the circular economy entails lowering the quantity of waste produced within the system, reusing food, recycling nutrients, using food waste and by-products, and altering dietary habits to include more varied and effective feeding patterns. It is mostly possible to close the nutrition loop associated with the food system. Reducing food waste and surplus lowers the economic total matter consumption, which in turn lowers the linear economic matter flow.</p> |
