It complements traditional perspectives of agri-production with advanced engineering, information and communication technologies recently applied in agri-business.

Including knowledgebased agriculture and reflecting sustainability and circular economy principles, the book presents a holistic view of sustainable bio-economy, contributing to the development of integrated agricultural systems.

As technology advances, agricultural production management practices are now being called upon to address the need for sustainability in the bio-economy.

Topics that are addressed include circular economy in agri-business, lifecycle thinking, lean management, agri-chains, green production, and waste management.

Bio-Economy and Agri-Production: Concepts and Evidence is a valuable reference for professionals, consultants, and policy making stakeholders in biosystems engineering and agricultural industries
