Emerging Food Chain Risks Related to Circular Economy

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a rising interest in implementing sustainable practices to reduce dependence on finite resources and alleviate environmental burden has steered a gaining interest in the concept of the circular economy. This study is primarily dedicated to examining the emerging risks in implementing circular economy principles within the food chain, particularly emphasizing their application in animal feed systems. Notably, animal feed has gained considerable attention due to the competition for essential resources such as land and water required for both animal feed and human food production. Embracing circular food systems presents a promising solution to address climate change sustainably. However, as this transition is made, potential food safety hazards that might emerge must be addressed.
