How to transition towards a more circular and sustainable food system?
Local food ecosystems are holistic approaches to address food from its production to its delivery and consumption via its transformation. A key remaining element, to ensure closing the loop, is to adopt a circular approach, notably in addressing food waste, seeking to reduce it at individual collective and private sector levels. The benefits can then not only be environmental but also economic.
