There is a growing interest in adopting a holistic circular economy (CE) to reach a sustainable and economically viable future, thus there is an increasing need for professionals in the field to do so efficiently. In this regard, good education and knowledge sharing are crucial. This knowledge sharing is bi-directional across generations, with everyone gaining equally from the various viewpoints and experiences. CE strategy research and education are beneficial for the implementation of sustainable development that considers economic, social, and environmental spheres. Additionally, attention is being paid to the younger generation, which is now focused on addressing climate change, as evidenced by the growth of the post-Greta Thunberg phenomena. As a result, this paper proposes a set of recommendations to improve measures for circular economy education (ECE) in order to train future CE experts who can contribute to achieving successful sustainable development. This research proposes, through a literature review and case studies analyses, that enhancing ECE can cultivate future CE specialists who can contribute to the successful pursuit of sustainable development as the demand for green jobs grows. According to our preliminary understanding, widespread ECE can be a critical tool for bringing together experienced circular professionals, students, and younger generations, in meeting their needs and advancing circular development through various forms, including specific training and reskilling of professionals required. However, we discovered a lack of consensus across the case studies on the ideal CE expert or educational modality, which is mirrored in the literature, indicating the need for greater collaboration among different disciplines and stakeholders. There also appears to be a general lack of awareness about the benefits of the CE, necessitating the collaboration between the private and public sectors in providing educational opportunities, accessible study materials, and research funding to accelerate innovation and competitiveness. Thus, institutions and businesses could play a role in standardising basic circular principles and competencies in CE as a means of providing basic guidelines that could be supplemented with specialised courses and diverse content ranging from public knowledge to more specialised professionals or students aiding the implementation of CE strategies, which reduce local disparities increasing green jobs accessibility for youth. Conclusively, this paper looks to provide recommendations for improvements in this field.

“…However, contemporary researchers have extended hermeneutics to the understanding of individuals, as well as various forms of groups and communities. Therefore, it has also become a method to study people's views in relation to their environment (Arunachalam, 2006), various aspects of sustainability (Coronel et al, 2022;Leonardi, 2010;Yao, 2019), and a transformation into circularity (Rótolo et al, 2022). An analysis inspired by hermeneutics is a valuable tool for many types of qualitative educational research and for answering a wide range of research questions (see, e.g., Agrey, 2014).…”

“…The agricultural sector is vital to the national economy because it contributes a large part to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), is the primary source of export income, and provides employment opportunities for millions of people (Rótolo et al, 2022). Named the backbone of the economy, the agricultural sector is the main focus for the country in developing and prioritizing agriculture and the food security of the population, especially in a social context, as a crucial element in human development (Bukhtiarova et al, 2019).…”

Agriculture is one of the important sectors in the Indonesian economy. However, the agricultural sector also faces various challenges, such as climate change, limited land, and high production costs. One solution to overcome these challenges is to utilize digital technology. The transformation of agriculture towards smart farming is one effort to utilize digital technology in agriculture. The aim of this research is to analyze the role of digital technology in the transformation of agriculture towards smart farming. This study used qualitative research methods. The data collection technique in this research is a literature study with publication period criteria in the last 10 years, namely 2014-2024. The data obtained was then analyzed in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. Research results from 15 pieces of literature show that digital technology plays an important role in the transformation of agriculture towards smart farming. Digital technology can increase agricultural productivity, agricultural operational efficiency and the competitiveness of agricultural products. Digital technology can increase agricultural productivity by increasing the efficiency of agricultural inputs and increasing agricultural productivity. Meanwhile, the company's operational efficiency is through increasing the effectiveness of communication and supply chain management. Meanwhile, product competitiveness is carried out by improving product quality and increasing product added value.
