“…The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed significant shortcomings in the linear economy-calling for the need for new and innovative public initiatives and programs. We reiterate that CE offers an alternative framework for a more resilient and inclusive economic model for the region through technology and guarantees both added value and sustainability [61,62]. As noted by Savino et al, (2018) adequate management of waste is important and requires the backing of institutions responsible for managing them at the local level.…”

Circular Economy (CE) is noted as an emerging tool or framework to support sustainable production and consumption agenda. In addition, CE is aiming to be a trigger for redefining economic growth pathways to be sustainable, inclusive, and sensitive to ecological and environmental agendas and to focus its operational standards on co-creating societal benefits. Concerning the guiding principles and the standards of practice applied to implement and scale circular economy, this study will provide an overview of the water sector-specific circularity roadmaps and strategies in the Latin American Region. By using a semi-systematic review, document analysis, and qualitative assessment approach, we highlight framings and operational pathways, gaps, and needs within existing practices of circularity in the water sector. The results provide an overview of CE pathways at the national level of selected countries in LAR iterating those nations reflect various levels of advancement (low to high) with CE-focused innovations and policy support structures specific to the water and wastewater sectors. Towards the closing, the study is pointing to the ‘call for action’ to integrate outstanding advances and innovations in the circular economy within sectoral mandates for water and wastewater management, making an argument that circularity in the water sector could serve as an accelerator toward implementing the agenda outlined in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in particular for SDG 6 (water security for all).

“…There is an increased awareness of the negative effect of pesticides [ 3 ] and the predation risk caused by the gastronomic boom of countries such as Peru that promote culinary tourism [ 4 ]. Sustainability and sustainable development goals play a critical role in the constant supply chain of food [ 9 , 10 ], recycling of food waste [ 11 ], waste reduction [ 12 , 13 ], and reduced carbon footprint [ 12 , 14 , 15 ] and water footprint [ 12 , 13 , 15 ]. All these factors, together with the exponential growth of restaurants, provide more options for families to engage in greater consumption of food away from home (CFAH) [ 16 , 17 ].…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the probability of buying food away from home according to the type of household using the logit model, as well as the sociodemographic characteristics of the heads of household, and how much income expenditure represents. A cross-sectional study was carried out using the National Household Survey (ENAHO) 2019 database. After joining the database, the household type variables were created. To calculate the probability with the “logit” model of purchase, the variables—family size, income, types of household, and total expenditure—were selected as a measure of the purchasing power of the family. A statistically significant association (p < 0.05) was found between the probability of consumption and the variables: age of household members, predominance, nuclear without children–married, nuclear with children–cohabitant, nuclear with children–widowed, nuclear with children–separated, extended, compounded, poor not extreme, and not poor. The bulk of families was represented by nuclear families (61.97%). The highest expenditure in the CFAH was for families defined as composite with a yearly average of USD 1652.89 (equivalent to PEN 5520.67). Observing the expenditure on food consumed outside the home through the composition of households can allow a better approach to offer educational measures. This information can be helpful to developers of educational issues.
