Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The circular economy is new way for the economy to work. The idea of a circular economy is closely linked to the sustainable development concept and provides a lot of benefits for addressing important environmental risks, including climate change. Therefore, products that can be “made to be made again” should be designed and the economic system should be powered with renewable energy. New policies and measures are necessary to build a restorative economy. Circular models are especially important for business, as they provide higher efficiency and profitability, lower cost, better innovation, and stronger relationships with customers.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions of scholars from various fields to close these gaps and to shed more light on problems of circular economy development. There are several important research areas which are necessary to address, such as volatile growing conditions and risks, pressures on supply and margins in food production, as well as changing consumer preferences, inefficient and wasteful linear models of food supply chains, and development of new business models. Large-scale quantitative research based on big data, theoretical studies, business reviews, and case studies are welcome.
