Abstract

BACKGROUND Closed-loop agri-food supply chains have a high potential to reduce environmental and economic costs resulting from food waste disposal. This paper illustrates an alternative to the traditional supply chain of bread based on the principles of a circular economy. METHODS Six circular interactions among seven actors (grain farmers, bread producers, retailers, compostable packaging manufacturers, insect breeders, livestock farmers, consumers) of the circular filière are created in order to achieve the goal of "zero waste". In the model, two radical technological innovations are considered: insects used as animal feed and polylactic acid compostable packaging. RESULTS The main challenges for the implementation of the new supply chain are identified. Finally, some recent patents related to bread sustainable production, investigated in the current paper, are considered. CONCLUSION Recommendations are given to academics and practitioners interested in the bio-based circular economy model approach for transforming agri-food supply chains.
农业食品部门向生物基循环经济转型的七大挑战。
闭环农业食品供应链具有很大的潜力,可以减少食物垃圾处理造成的环境和经济成本。本文阐述了基于循环经济原则的传统面包供应链的替代方案。方法在循环农业的7个参与者(粮食农民、面包生产者、零售商、堆肥包装制造商、昆虫饲养者、畜牧养殖户、消费者)之间建立6个循环互动,以实现“零浪费”的目标。在该模型中,考虑了两项激进的技术创新:将昆虫用作动物饲料和聚乳酸可堆肥包装。结果确定了实施新供应链面临的主要挑战。最后,本文还介绍了一些与面包可持续生产相关的最新专利。结论本研究为关注以生物为基础的循环经济模式转变农业食品供应链的学者和实践者提供了建议。
