Circularity as a complement to productivity, efficiency, and self-sufficiency concepts for greater sustainability in food systems

Key Points

Greater sustainability in food systems is achievable through circularity, enhancing resource efficiency and reducing waste.
Circular strategies decrease greenhouse gas emissions significantly, contributing to a healthier environment and sustainable practices.
Considering trade-offs between circularity and traditional concepts like productivity leads to better decision-making in food systems.
Adopting circular practices may require systemic changes in resource management and agricultural methods for increased efficiency.

Abstract

Abstract Circularity is a powerful strategy for decreasing the use of non-renewable resources, nutrient pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions from food systems. To enhance food system sustainability, circularity and its trade-offs should be considered along with productivity, efficiency, or self-sufficiency strategies.
