Special Issue Information

The transition towards sustainable agri-food systems is one of the major global challenges for ensuring food security, environmental protection, and efficient resource management. In this context, the circular bioeconomy has emerged as a strategic approach to reduce waste generation, promote the valorization of agricultural and food biomass, and foster the development of innovative, sustainable products and processes. Transforming the agri-food system from a “take-make-waste”, or linear production system, to a circular bioeconomy that reduces, recycles, recovers, reuses, and regenerates wastes and transitions from fossil to biobased fuels and products is being hailed as critical for meeting a growing population’s food and fuel needs in environmentally sustainable ways.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in research addressing circular bioeconomy strategies across the agri-food sector. Contributions are welcome on the sustainable management and valorization of agricultural residues and agro-industrial by-products, the recovery of bioactive compounds, biotechnological and green extraction processes, sustainable crop production, soil health, resource-efficient farming practices, food and feed innovations, and environmental sustainability. Studies integrating biotechnology, microbiology, food science, agricultural sciences, environmental sciences, and circular economy principles are particularly encouraged.
