A systematic review of research on food loss and waste prevention and management for the circular economy

Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article.

Industrial symbiosis and agri-food system: Themes, links, and relationships

“…Examples of resource recovery within agri-food supply chains in the CE have emerged from among the analyzed studies (Do et al, 2021), with special reference to the valorisation of bioresidues from the brewing, dairy, slaughter, and forestry sectors (Gregg et al, 2020).…”

Antecedents towards social circular consumption of food wastes in emerging economies: Transition towards food circular economy

“…The benefits of a circular economy need to spread to a wider society (Kumari & Jeble, 2020). The circular economy is an alternative to integrate usability in a better form (Do et al, 2021). However, the concept has not received much attention concerning food waste management.…”

“…Food waste management requires a long-term approach. The importance of food waste management has been largely discussed in the literature but the role of circular economy in managing food waste is a new and emerging area of research (Do et al, 2021). Managing food waste for improved food security, a balanced environment, and reduced cost of food requires a well-planned strategy.…”

The Circular economy in Brazil and alignment with the SDGs: Interfaces, gaps and opportunities for future research

“…Closing production cycles promotes the connection of the post-use stage to its re-entry in the initial stage of production, which directly reduces the energy loss of already processed components and human intervention in natural environments for the extraction of virgin raw material. The possibility of extension of use derives from the design and idealization of the product with the aim of prolonging its life and enabling repairs/remanufacturing (Do et al, 2021). Improving the design of products towards a more efficient model allows for the standardization of processes, which benefits society, especially the base of the pyramid, and reduces the possibility of depletion of sources of resources and scarcity of materials (Mercader-Moyano, Porras-Pereira, & Levinton, 2021).…”
