“…The food supply chain mainly deals with a shorter shelf life for perishable products. Therefore, efficient logistics are necessary for the on‐time delivery of food products without losing quality (Mor et al., 2021). Supply chain and logistics management in the food industry is complex due to numerous relevant criteria, such as maintaining cold‐chain integrity and assuring product integrity, tight standards and sanitary regulations.…”

Logistics is among the leading contributors to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and needs a paradigm shift to ensure sustainability. Green logistics is an initiative to reduce environmental, social and economic damage, create a positive brand image and ensure customer loyalty to the firm. Even though green logistics yields many benefits, several factors often challenge its successful implementation. Thus, the study aims to identify and group the adoption barriers to green logistics in the food industry. The barriers perceived by food industry professionals were collected through a survey, and exploratory factor (EFA) analysis was applied to identify and group the most significant ones. EFA grouped the 19 significant barriers into six factors: organizational, regulatory, supplier, technological, customer and financial. Identifying these adoption barriers can help organizations frame suitable strategies to overcome barriers in successfully implementing green logistics. The study also suggests strategies to address the barriers to green logistics in the food industry for the Indian economy. The study also highlights implications for practice and theory.

“…The world population is predicted to grow to 9.8 billion by 2050 [1]. To provide enough food for this increased world population, the agri-food sector has to solve the problems of significant food losses and food waste in terms of a whole chain between farms, food processing, and consumers [2]. In general, food security is a crucial task of a total of 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations [3].…”

Three diets were formulated, i.e., soybean meal (SM diet), adult Acheta domesticus (AD diet), and Tenebrio molitor larvae (TM diet), as the main crude protein (CP) sources. A total of 45 rabbits (Hyplus, weaned at 32 days of age) were divided into three groups (15 per treatment) and fed one of the three diets for 42 days. A higher daily weight gain (p = 0.042), as well as daily feed intake (p = 0.022), was observed in rabbits fed the AD and TM diets than in rabbits fed the SM diet within 21 days after weaning. The coefficients of total tract apparent digestibility (CTTAD) of gross energy were higher (p = 0.001) in rabbits fed the SM diet than in rabbits fed the other diets. The CTTAD of CP (p = 0.040) and starch (p = 0.041) was higher in rabbits fed the SM diet compared to those fed the AD diet. There were non-significantly higher losses of nitrogen in the urine (an average by 0.227 g/day; p = 0.094) in rabbits fed the TM diet than in rabbits fed the other diets. It can be concluded that the growth of rabbits and nitrogen output were not detrimentally affected by the insect meal (AD or TM) used in this study.

“…While it provides several perspectives by reducing food losses and waste, valorising by-products, reusing resources and using biomass in cascades (Aznar-Sanchez et al 2020). In addition to causing degradation of natural resources such as water, land, labor, energy and capital, through the emission of greenhouse gases, it intensifies climate change and global warming (Mor et al 2021). As a means of recovering nutrients, compounds, and materials (Chiaraluce et al 2021), CE will revolutionize the agri-food industry (Mirabella et al, 2014).…”

A central issue for academics and politicians regarding the circular economy in the last few years has been the evaluation and monitoring of the circularity level, so that conclusions can be drawn about how the implemented policies have been transitioning toward sustainability. Even though the research community has been working extensively on this subject, there has not been a consensus on what indicators to use to measure circularity in the agri-food industry so far. The aim of this paper is to highlight the circular economy (CE) indicators used in the agri-food sector, based on scientific literature and practice, so as to identify those that could assess circularity in olive oil mills. Furthermore, the project aims to develop a tool that will be able to assess the success of CE strategies and remove some of the ambiguity surrounding CE in practice. Due to the uncontrolled disposal of waste from olive mills, the Mediterranean countries that produce the majority of olive oil have to cope with major environmental issues, so the transition to a CE in olive oil industry is essential.
