Unsurprisingly, food, water and nutrients are among the core foci of the Circular Economy Action Plan. While the Action Plan touches upon agriculture, a broader, cross-sectoral understanding linking agriculture, forestry, and aquaculture is currently lacking.
Linking green and blue sectors of the bioeconomy where circular production solutions are actively deployed and new ones are developed can make significant contributions to the attainment of sustainable development goals.
However, agriculture, forestry, and aquaculture are also associated with negative environmental impacts and climate pressures such as biodiversity loss, waste production, and greenhouse gas emissions.
