摘要

创业公司,作为创新向循环经济(CE)转型的关键驱动力,正在农业食品行业获得动力。然而,对于循环农业食品初创企业来说,一个包容性的分类框架仍然缺乏,尽管它在阐明他们的贡献和为量身定制的政策提供信息方面发挥了关键作用,以促进农业食品部门更顺利的环保转型。本研究旨在通过开发一种全面的类型学来确定循环农业食品初创企业的关键特征和对生态环境的贡献,从而揭示循环农业食品初创企业。为此,采用内容分析和层次聚类相结合的两层方法,对79家循环农业食品初创企业进行了供应链定位、采用CE战略、商业模式创新导向、技术途径和客户细分等方面的研究。因此,开发了一个包容性的类型,将初创公司分为三个不同的组,即生物技术驱动的可持续生产者,数字CE推动者和循环包装先驱。生物技术驱动的可持续生产者主要在上游食品供应链中运营,采用以技术为导向的商业模式,采用再利用或升级回收战略。数字化CE推动者利用供应链各个阶段的数字化解决方案,通过以平台为导向的商业模式实施减排战略。循环包装的先驱者以产品或服务为导向的商业模式运作,通过重复使用策略专注于可持续包装解决方案。这些见解为农业食品利益相关者和政策制定者制定战略政策提供了支持,这些战略政策将循环创业公司的潜力付诸实施,从而促进更具弹性、可持续和循环的农业食品供应链。最后,提出了未来的研究方向,以支持创业公司走向循环农业食品系统。

A Typology of Circular Economy Startups in Agri‐Food Supply Chains: An Analysis of 79 Innovative Startups
Startups, as key drivers of innovation towards a circular economy (CE) transition, are gaining momentum in the agri‐food industry. However, an inclusive classification framework for circular agri‐food startups is still lacking, despite its crucial role in articulating their contribution and informing tailored policies to facilitate a smoother CE shift in the agri‐food sector. This research aims to shed light on circular agri‐food startups by developing a comprehensive typology that identifies their key characteristics and contributions to the CE. In this regard, a two‐tiered method, combining content analysis and hierarchical clustering, was employed to examine 79 circular agri‐food startups based on their supply chain position, adopted CE strategy, business model innovation orientation, technological approach, and customer segment. As a result, an inclusive typology was developed, categorizing startups into three distinct groups, namely, biotech‐driven sustainable producers, digital CE enablers, and circular packaging pioneers. Biotech‐driven sustainable producers primarily operate in the upstream food supply chain, adopting repurposing or upcycling strategies with a technology‐oriented business model. Digital CE enablers leverage digital solutions across various stages of the supply chain to implement reduction strategies through a platform‐oriented business model. Circular packaging pioneers, operating with a product‐ or service‐oriented business model, focus on sustainable packaging solutions through reuse strategies. The insights provided support agri‐food stakeholders and policy‐makers in crafting strategic policies that put the potential of circular startups into effect, thereby fostering a more resilient, sustainable, and circular agri‐food supply chain. Finally, future research directions are proposed to support startups on the road towards a circular agri‐food system.

期刊介绍: Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
