Abstract

The circular bioeconomy has been identified as a paradigm useful in transforming food systems to a more sustainable state. However, there is no clear method to identify in which cases circular technologies are preferential over existing conventional practices and how to compare circular technologies against each other in a portfolio of technologies. In this Perspective, we present a framework to assess the potential of circular food system technologies, summarized in a matrix to assign clear policy and adoption priorities. We then use this framework to compare the net market and spillover benefits of three case studies of circular technologies: low-opportunity cost feeds in egg production systems in the Netherlands, biodigesters on dairy farms in Uruguay, and bonechar fertilizer production in Ethiopia. Our framework offers a starting point for future research and policy in adopting circular food system technologies in the food system.

展望文件：循环粮食系统技术潜力评估框架

循环生物经济已被确定为一种范式，有助于将粮食系统转变为更可持续的状态。然而，目前还没有明确的方法来确定在哪些情况下循环技术优于现有的传统做法，以及如何在技术组合中对循环技术进行比较。在本视角中，我们提出了一个评估循环型食品系统技术潜力的框架，并以矩阵的形式进行总结，以明确政策和采用的优先次序。然后，我们利用该框架比较了三个循环技术案例研究的净市场效益和溢出效益：荷兰蛋鸡生产系统中的低机会成本饲料、乌拉圭奶牛场的生物发酵罐以及埃塞俄比亚的骨炭肥料生产。我们的框架为今后在粮食系统中采用循环粮食系统技术的研究和政策提供了一个起点。

期刊介绍： Global Food Security plays a vital role in addressing food security challenges from local to global levels. To secure food systems, it emphasizes multifaceted actions considering technological, biophysical, institutional, economic, social, and political factors. The goal is to foster food systems that meet nutritional needs, preserve the environment, support livelihoods, tackle climate change, and diminish inequalities. This journal serves as a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to access and engage with recent, diverse research and perspectives on achieving sustainable food security globally. It aspires to be an internationally recognized resource presenting cutting-edge insights in an accessible manner to a broad audience.
