is an interdisciplinary resource for researchers and those dedicated to advancing sustainability within food production and agricultural sectors interested in economic solutions in the agri-food system that includes food waste management and green technology.

This comprehensive volume addresses the pressing challenges of food waste, resource depletion, and environmental degradation, offering a framework for transforming these challenges into opportunities.

Through innovative technologies, best practices, and successful global case studies, the book presents strategies for implementing closed-loop systems that enhance resource efficiency and promote regenerative agricultural methods.

Each chapter provides understanding of the food value chain, equipping readers with the tools necessary to reduce food loss and elevate waste into high-value sustainable resources.

From Waste to Wealth in the Agri-Food System: Building a Circular Economy not only highlights the critical role of technology in waste minimization and resource recovery but also emphasizes the importance of sustainable packaging and consumer awareness in promoting circular economy practices.

With insights into scaling circular economy initiatives in agriculture and food systems, transforming by-products and farm waste into high-value resources, and strengthening industry-agriculture linkages for a circular economy, the authors offer a roadmap for overcoming challenges and capitalizing on opportunities to convert waste into high-value sustainable resources.
