“…Sustainable development is the basic assumption of the circular economy concept, which consists of ecological, social and economic components. In the literature, there are inverse relationships between economic and environmental sustainable development [70,71]. This situation occurs in, among others, EU countries that were characterized by moderate durability of the agri-food system.…”

The concept of the circular economy is becoming an increasingly important issue within the economic and political sphere. The aim of the study is to check the opinions of representatives of organizations on the need to act in accordance with the principles of the circular economy concept in organizations and to indicate the differences in these opinions, taking into account the following aspects: the number of implemented management systems and the FSMS implementation. The survey method was used in the study. The surveyed organizations were divided into groups according to two criteria: having implemented food safety management systems and the total number of implemented management systems. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to analyze differences between groups. The conducted research showed that the organizations with more than three MSSs perceive a greater need to act in accordance with the principles of the CE than other companies. There was no sufficient proof to support the hypothesis concerning the higher engagement of food sector organizations in circular economy activities. The size of the organization is a factor that is also irrelevant in this context.

The study carried out in Matera, Italy, used multi‐criteria decision‐making techniques and geographic information systems to identify optimal area management for sustainable grape production. Terrain parameters such as temperature, pH, humidity, soil texture, slope, altitude, nutrients and precipitation were considered. ArcGIS maps were created, and the northwest part of the field was identified as a favorable area. Fuzzy maps were generated, and measurements were taken in each area to determine optimal land management. The results revealed that 51% of the area was very highly suitable for agricultural activities, and 49% was considered high suitable. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of the AHP results demonstrated a high level of accuracy, as indicated by the area under the curve (AUC). The produced maps indicated a similar trend of increasing zone management priorities for physico‐chemicals as depth fluctuate. Additionally, results showed that remote sensing indices were the most important variables to predict physico‐chemicals zone management. The study also highlighted that the majority of the area supported plant growth due to favorable temperature and humidity conditions, with only a small portion in the northwest showing less favorable results. By identifying management zones, the study aimed to protect crops, better use of irrigation water and improve yields. This study highlights the potential of integrating satellite remote sensing, GIS technology and AHP as a valuable tool for agricultural land use planners and policy makers in identifying optimal locations for managing grape production.

This study delves into the strategic intersection of sustainability practices, relational marketing, and firm attitudes in the agricultural sector, emphasizing the imperative of balancing economic viability with environmental responsibility. As global concerns over climate change, resource depletion, and ethical sourcing escalate, the agricultural industry faces unprecedented challenges that necessitate innovative and enduring solutions. Drawing on stakeholder theory, the study proposes a conceptual framework that integrates a firm’s relational marketing with stakeholders and the implementation of sustainable practices while considering the moderating influence of firm attitudes toward sustainability. The research underscores the pivotal role of stakeholders in driving agricultural firms toward sustainable initiatives, highlighting the positive impact of strong relationships on the adoption of sustainable practices. By fostering collaborative partnerships and demonstrating a firm commitment to sustainability, companies can enhance their social and environmental responsibility while strengthening their competitive advantage. The study also explores the moderating effect of firm attitudes towards sustainability, emphasizing the importance of proactive organizational attitudes in facilitating the relationship between relational marketing and sustainable practices implementation.
